2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line S ISG HEV A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV72 RBU

This Sportage presents an exemplary record of roadworthiness, characterized by a complete absence of defects or advisories. The clean pass achieved on 24 October 2025 confirms that the vehicle met all DVSA standards without any noted wear or structural concerns, establishing a stable and positive mechanical baseline for a prospective buyer. The recorded mileage of 10,036 miles is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,509 miles per year. Mechanically, this indicates very low wear on the hybrid drivetrain, suspension bushings, and engine internals. Such a low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely spent extended periods stationary, which can occasionally lead to surface corrosion on brake discs or the drying of rubber seals. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be the seamless operation of the hybrid powertrain. Ensure the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is smooth and devoid of excessive vibration or hesitation. Pay particular attention to the brake pedal feel; because this is a hybrid with regenerative braking and very low mileage, ensure there is no binding in the calipers or a spongy sensation. A thorough test drive should confirm the absence of any suspension knocks or steering irregularities, which would be unexpected given the low mileage and clean test history. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensure the air conditioning and electronic driver aids function correctly. While the DVSA record is currently flawless, verifying the service history will ensure that the low-mileage usage has been complemented by the required interval-based maintenance.
