2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · CV69 SZP

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 42,111 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or mechanical faults across the vehicle's history. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 22,712 miles at the October 2022 test, rising to 31,394 by November 2023, then 35,802 in November 2024, and 42,111 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing periods. The November 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at 35,802 miles, yet records no defects for either outcome, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged by testers. The absence of corrosion, exhaust emission failures, or structural integrity concerns suggests the previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, brake calipers, and underbody for hidden corrosion, as MOT pass sheets do not capture every latent defect. Pre-purchase checks should confirm service history matches the low advisory count and verify the timing belt interval if applicable. The Sportage's record implies disciplined ownership, but physical examination of drivetrain mounts and steering linkage remains prudent before completion.
