2022 KIA Sportage 3 ISG 1.6L Petrol · MJ72 AAO

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 27 August 2025. At 21,439 miles, the Sportage passed with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. The lack of recorded failures suggests that the mechanical and safety systems have remained within acceptable manufacturer parameters throughout the primary inspection period. At approximately four years of age, the recorded mileage is significantly lower than the national average, averaging roughly 5,360 miles per year. This pattern indicates short-distance commuting or infrequent use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. While low mileage often preserves the engine and gearbox, it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. It is necessary to check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning them. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. A visual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs will also ensure that the low usage has not masked any minor environmental degradation or perished rubber.
