2021 KIA Sportage GT-LN S Crdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric · CV71 JWC

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to an advisory in 2025 indicates a shift toward consumable replacement requirements. While the car passed without mechanical or structural failures, the emergence of tyre wear suggests that certain components are now reaching their service interval. At 29,299 miles, the Sportage has covered significantly less distance than the average vehicle, averaging 5,860 miles per year. The 2,024-mile interval between the October 2024 test and the October 2025 test shows consistent, light usage. This low mileage profile generally implies less stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to flat spotting if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. The October 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with signs of edge wear. This specific wear pattern often indicates a need for an alignment or suggests worn suspension bushes. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension for uneven play and verify that the geometry is correct to prevent rapid degradation of any new set of tyres. Given the lack of recorded defects in the previous year, the structural integrity and braking system appear sound. However, the buyer should still check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer surface rust if used infrequently. The history reflects a well-maintained vehicle that simply now requires routine attention to standard consumable items.
