2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line Phev 4X4 Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BV22 VPZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on April 24, 2025. While the car passed the inspection, the record indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding consumable items. The tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with specific uneven edge wear, suggesting that the previous owner neglected tyre replacement until they reached criticality rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 56,172 miles recorded just fourteen months ago, this Kia Sportage has covered an average of over 14,000 miles per year. This figure significantly exceeds the national average for a vehicle of this age, indicating heavy motorway use or high-frequency demand on mechanical components. The gap between the April 2025 test and the current date means the MOT is still valid, but the high mileage accumulation suggests accelerated wear on the suspension bushings, shocks, and hybrid drivetrain system. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the uneven wear noted on both the front and rear tyres often points to alignment issues or worn ball joints and control arms. Given the high mileage, the state of the brake discs and pads should be scrutinized for excessive thinning or pitting, as the weight of a PHEV places significant stress on the braking system. Checking the underbody for any signs of fluid leaks or premature corrosion is essential to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
