2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · C4 DNE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that suggests reactive attention to faults. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 46,742 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a low front headlamp aim. This indicates a minor adjustment issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle currently carries no recorded mechanical or structural defects or advisories from its most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK use for a petrol, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year. Data from the January 2024 test at 28,039 miles and the December 2024 test at 38,291 miles shows a progression of roughly 10,000 miles over eleven months. This steady usage indicates regular operation which avoids the risks associated with long periods of stationary standing, while remaining below the threshold often seen in high-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumable items that previously failed. The January 2024 failure highlighted an offside front tyre with a cut and an offside rear tyre with a nail, alongside a failing offside front wiper blade. While these were cleared for the pass, the buyer should verify the current tread depth and condition of all tyres to ensure no further degradation has occurred. Since the MOT history lacks advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or structural rust, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears well-maintained based on the available data.
