2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · CE69 FWA

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 21,742 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record across the last four annual inspections. This stability suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 10,158 miles and the September 2025 test at 21,742 miles, the car covered 11,684 miles. While low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to perishation of rubber parts or surface corrosion on brake discs. However, the record shows the vehicle has not suffered from these issues during official testing. A in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage usage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, which occurs in vehicles that sit for long periods. The brake discs should be checked for heavy surface rust, and the calipers verified to ensure they have not seized due to inactivity. Additionally examine the suspension bushes and rubber boots for signs of cracking, though the lack of recorded defects suggests these components remain in good condition.
