KIA SPORTAGE2021 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2021 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 28,185 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure entry dated 9 February 2024 at 24,303 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,600 miles, well below typical use for a five-year-old car. The odometer moved from 24,303 miles at the February 2024 test to 25,899 miles in February 2025 and 28,185 miles by February 2026. That is low, consistent accumulation with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean record across all dated tests suggests light use and a previous owner who kept the vehicle serviced to pass standard inspection thresholds. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage may mask degradation from prolonged standing rather than wear. The DVSA data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns across the record. Prior to purchase, verify the February 2024 failure was a clerical duplicate and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition match the clean advisory history. The evidence implies careful ownership, but low-use vehicles can hide perished rubber and binding calipers not captured in a pass result.
