2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · AV19 AYZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 February 2026 at 51,254 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that all mechanical and safety components met the required standards. This follows a period of consistent passes where the vehicle maintained operational integrity, suggesting that the current owner is addressing necessary repairs as they arise during testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 21,502 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,000 miles annually. This regularity is positive as it avoids the issues associated with long periods of standing, which can lead to seized brake calipers or degradation of rubber-based suspension components. The data shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that would indicate heavy use. A buyer should pay attention to the failure in February 2023 at 29,752 miles, where the tester flagged a deep cut in the nearside rear tyre reaching the cords and worn offside rear tyre. While these were consumable items that were evidently rectified, the flat spots on the inner edge suggest potential alignment issues or emergency braking at that time. Additionally, the records from 2024 and 2025 noted that child seats prevented full inspection of the rear adult seat belts. A physical inspection must verify that these seat belts are in good condition and free of fraying, as they were not fully verified during the previous two MOT cycles.
