2020 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · T33 HAJ

The 2020 Kia Sportage holds a valid MOT with a pass recorded on 15 October 2025 at 40,036 miles, placing the most recent inspection roughly nine months before the current date. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its three most recent tests without refusal. The most recent inspection identified front suspension wear but classified it as advisory rather than dangerous, indicating the defects remain within tolerable limits and have not yet resulted in excessive movement or structural failure. The mileage progression shows consistent usage averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual accumulation for a vehicle of this age. The odometer advanced from 16,765 miles in October 2023 to 30,077 miles in October 2024, and then to 40,036 miles in October 2025, reflecting steady ownership with no anomalous gaps or rapid mileage spikes that would suggest heavy commercial use or prolonged storage. A buyer should prioritise inspection of the front lower suspension arm bushes and pins, as the October 2024 and October 2025 tests both flagged wear in these components. The tester noted wear in both arms without excessive movement, but the recurrence across two consecutive annual inspections warrants a physical check for cracking, corrosion, or play in the suspension geometry. The 2024 test also recorded rear tyre wear close to the legal limit and edge wear on both rear tyres, indicating the previous owner likely replaced the tyres before the 2025 test, though a buyer should verify the current tyre condition and tread depth independently.
