KIA SPORTAGE2021 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 13 September 2025. At 77,947 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle's mechanical and safety-critical components met DVSA standards at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 77,947 miles over a five-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 15,589 miles per annum. This is higher than the national average for passenger vehicles, suggesting consistent motorway use which often results in less mechanical strain than short city trips. While the most recent test was performed less than nine months ago, the high accumulation means that components are reaching the mid-point of their typical lifespans sooner than a lower-mileage equivalent. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on heavy-duty components most affected by high-frequency operation. Given the mileage, checking the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue is essential. The braking system requires a close look for thin brake discs and worn pads, as the high-mileage vehicles place significant stress on these friction materials. Additionally, inspecting the undercarriage for any fluid leaks or exhaust corrosion is prudent to ensure the usage has not led to neglected structural or drivetrain wear.
