2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · CE66 JYA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 72,877 miles. The only note was a worn rear suspension arm pin or bush that did not yet cause excessive movement. Compared with earlier tests that produced multiple failures, the record shows a clear improvement in overall condition. Mileage has risen steadily from 37,573 miles on 18 February 2020 to the current 72,877 miles. This averages roughly 5,900 miles per year, indicating regular use without long periods of storage. The test intervals are almost exactly twelve months apart, showing a consistent maintenance schedule. A buyer should pay particular attention to the rear suspension bushes, as the 2026 advisory indicates wear that may progress. Rear brake pads were flagged as thin in 2024 and should be measured for remaining thickness. Repeated notes on rear tyre cracking or perishing and occasional front tyre tread wear suggest a thorough tyre inspection, including sidewalls and depth. Binding of the nearside rear brake recorded in 2022 warrants a check of caliper movement and disc condition. Finally, the windscreen wiper failures seen in 2021 mean the blades and arms should be tested for proper clearance.
