KIA SPORTAGE 3 ISG MHEV S-A2022 · 1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

This vehicle is in excellent roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 15,820 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous test on 31 July 2025, indicating the car has been kept to a high mechanical standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for a four year old vehicle. Between the July 2025 test at 15,802 miles and the March 2026 test at 15,820 miles, the car covered only 18 miles over seven months. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods standing rather than being used for regular commuting. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension bushes, prolonged inactivity can introduce different risks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stagnation. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as the lack of use between 2025 and 2026 increases the risk of binding calipers. Ensure the battery health is verified, as mild hybrid systems can suffer from discharge during long periods of dormancy. The absence of any historical advisories regarding structural integrity or exhaust emissions suggests a well-preserved example. Given the clean record, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag, but the low usage profile makes a thorough check of the rubber seals and fluid levels essential.
