2021 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · AB69 GMB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 36,188 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend where previously identified faults were addressed promptly. While the July 2025 test resulted in several failures, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the mechanical and safety systems are currently operating within DVSA parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The interval between the July 2024 test at 22,769 miles and the July 2025 test at 30,085 miles shows an accumulation of 7,316 miles, matching the expected usage. This low mileage suggests light use, which typically reduces wear on heavy components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain assemblies compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should verify the offside front windscreen wiper and the headlamp alignment, as the 2025 failure indicated issues with poor visibility and improper beam. Although these were rectified, the presence of a nail in the offside rear tyre during the 2025 test highlights a minor oversight in basic consumable maintenance. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake binding issues in the history, the physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and ensuring the hybrid system components show no signs of degradation despite the low annual mileage.
