2020 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · AV69 XMF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT result. The latest test on 23 February 2026 at 51,067 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early February 2025, the subsequent pass just two weeks later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues rather than neglecting them. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 28,538 miles and February 2024 at 35,411 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 7,000 miles, followed by a larger interval of nearly 7,000 miles between the 2024 and early 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests predictable usage patterns, which generally reduces the likelihood of unexpected strain on the drivetrain and suspension components at this age. Given the lack of recurring advisories across the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT does not fully test. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these are common points of wear on Sportages of this mileage. Although the record is clean, verifying the brake discs for uneven wear and checking the remaining pad thickness is necessary to ensure the braking system remains as robust as the February test suggests.
