2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · S744 CEY

This 2021 Kia Sportage has recorded 43,280 miles over approximately five years, which equates to an average of around 8,600 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the car has seen regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods or being subjected to excessive mileage. The most recent MOT test was passed on 9 September 2025, but you should be aware that this certificate is now about nine months old. At the time of that test, the examiner issued advisories for both the nearside and offside rear brake pads, noting they were wearing thin and appeared close to the legal limit. There is a clear and recurring pattern in the history regarding the replacement of consumable parts. In September 2024, the MOT flagged the front brake pads and both front tyres as worn close to the limit. By the 2025 test, these specific front-end issues were no longer listed, indicating that the previous owner likely addressed them by replacing the front tyres and pads. However, the wear has naturally shifted to the rear axle. The condition trend appears stable in terms of maintenance, as the owner has rectified the defects raised in the previous year, but the vehicle is following a predictable cycle of wear. Because the rear brake pads were already close to the limit nine months ago, there is a significant risk that they are now fully worn and require immediate replacement.
