2022 KIA Sportage 2 ISG 1.6L Petrol · AE22 YBN

The 2022 Kia Sportage presents a stable and entirely compliant roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 21 February 2026 at 22,149 miles passed cleanly with zero defects or advisories. This follows an identical outcome on 22 February 2025 at 17,269 miles. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have emerged over the vehicle's short lifespan. The recorded mileage of 22,149 miles equates to an annual average of approximately 5,537 miles, which is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the two recorded tests, the car covered 4,880 miles over a twelve-month period, suggesting consistent but light usage rather than prolonged stationary periods or high-mileage commuting. The data is sparse but entirely clean, showing no anomalies in accumulation rate. With no mechanical failures recorded on the MOT, the primary focus for a prospective buyer shifts to assessing the condition of consumables and components susceptible to low-mileage degradation. A physical inspection should scrutinize the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low annual mileage often means original rubber ages out before it wears out. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and potential binding, a common issue when a vehicle is used exclusively for short trips that prevent the pads from wiping the rotors clean. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust system for early corrosion, despite the lack of advisories.
