2020 KIA Sportage Platinum Edition ISG 1.6L Petrol · KX20 AHP

A clean MOT history dominates this 2020 Kia Sportage, with the most recent 2026 test confirming a pass and no recorded defects, and only three minor advisories over six years – two wiper‑blade failures in 2025 and a windscreen‑damage note in 2023. The absence of any safety‑critical failures or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has remained within acceptable roadworthiness limits throughout its life to date. At 36,170 mi the mileage averages roughly 6 000 mi per annum, a figure that sits comfortably within normal usage for a six‑year‑old SUV. The MOTs have been spaced at roughly twelve‑month intervals, showing no prolonged periods of inactivity that might conceal hidden deterioration, and the modest annual accumulation points to relatively light to moderate wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. When inspecting the car, give particular attention to the wiper system: verify that both blades make full, even contact across the glass, listen for any chatter that could indicate worn pivots, and replace the blades if they show cracking or stiffness. Examine the windscreen for any progression of the previously noted damage – look for cracks, chips or delamination that could impair visibility or compromise structural integrity, especially around the driver’s line of sight. Beyond the items flagged by MOT, a sensible test drive should include a feel for the steering response and a check for any unusual noises over bumps that might hint at worn suspension bushes or loose steering links. Apply the brakes firmly at moderate speed and note any pulsation, squeal or reduced pedal feel, which could reveal emerging disc or pad wear not yet captured by the MOT record. A thorough visual inspection of the under‑body for any fresh corrosion or fluid leaks will round out the assessment before committing to purchase.
