KIA SPORTAGE2016 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistently stable maintenance trend across the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sweep of test results suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural failures that would typically trigger an MOT warning. The mileage profile is notably low for a decade-old Sportage, averaging approximately 3,220 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 4,465 miles, indicating a pattern of very light use or long periods of storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, theaging usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry that is not captured during an MOT test. Given that the history shows no recurring faults or structural concerns, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of the rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyrework, as these can perish or crack despite low distance traveled. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for surface corrosion on the discs due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods between tests.
