2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · CF71 AFK

A clean MOT history across the last two annual tests – passed on 5 November 2024 and again on 3 November 2025 with no defects recorded – shows that, at least up to the most recent inspection, no roadworthiness failures have been identified for this 2021 Kia Sportage. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that the primary safety‑critical systems (brakes, lights, emissions, structural integrity) were all deemed compliant at those dates. With 24 953 miles logged over roughly five years, the vehicle averages just under 5 000 miles per annum, which is well below the typical usage rate for a family SUV of this age. Such low annual mileage generally translates to reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, but it can also indicate periods of limited use where seals and rubber components may have been subjected to longer idle times. No gaps appear in the MOT schedule, so the recorded mileage aligns consistently with the testing intervals. Although the MOT record does not flag any specific faults, a prudent buyer should still verify the condition of the suspension bushings, coil springs and any steering linkage for looseness or knock noises when traversing bumps. The braking system should be examined for even pad wear, disc surface condition and any pedal pulsation that could hint at warped discs or uneven wear not captured by the MOT. Tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and uniform wear patterns are also worth confirming, as excessive wear can affect handling and safety. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection remains advisable to assess items that fall outside MOT scope, such as oil leaks, coolant condition, battery health and the state of the exhaust system. Confirm that all service documentation aligns with the mileage and that any upcoming wear items are budgeted for, ensuring the vehicle remains compliant and reliable beyond the last recorded test.
