2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DA18 RGU

This Kia Sportage presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 65,238 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes dating back to May 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a state of readiness for its annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eight year old vehicle. Between 27 January 2023 and 19 January 2026, the odometer rose from 40,710 to 65,238 miles, averaging roughly 8,500 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden changes in usage patterns. The total absence of advisories over the last five tests is uncommon and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in the record. The lack of structural integrity warnings or corrosion flags is particularly positive for a vehicle of this age. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that the MOT tester may not flag as failures. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will have worn naturally over the 31,248 miles covered since the May 2022 test. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the clean MOT record.
