2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · R18 ECH

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 24 March 2026 at 43,948 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This outcome reflects a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully navigated its last three annual inspections without any persistent mechanical or structural advisories. The absence of recurring issues suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent care and that any potential faults are being addressed proactively before the formal testing process. The recorded mileage of 43,948 miles over seven years averages approximately 6,278 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this classification. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage strain. While the 2024 and 2025 tests initially recorded a failure on the same day as the subsequent pass, these instances appear to be administrative corrections or minor rectifications rather than indicative of chronic mechanical neglect, given the lack of specific defect notes. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables often require replacement at this mileage interval even if they currently meet minimum standards. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear or surface corrosion, as these components are common wear items on sport utility vehicles of this age. Verify that the tyres show even tread wear across the axle, as this confirms the geometry remains within factory specifications. The overall record indicates a well-maintained example that has avoided the common pitfalls of neglected maintenance or heavy-duty use.
