2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DA16 VNF

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 58,201 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories dating back to January 2023. Recorded mileage sits at 58,201 against a ten-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 5,820 miles per year. The test history shows steady low annual use: 44,233 miles in January 2023, 48,221 by August 2023, 51,595 in August 2024, 55,959 in August 2025, and 58,201 in February 2026. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. The clean sheet across all entries means the DVSA data gives no signal of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage, which can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unseen. The absence of advisories means no tester flagged binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, but low-use cars often hide perished rubbers and underbody rust between tests. Treat the MOT record as evidence of compliant annual testing rather than proof of condition. Verify service history, check for structural integrity issues beneath sills and subframes, and confirm tyre sidewall condition before purchase.
