2021 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA70 MPZ

The Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 15 January 2026 at 36,505 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available entries. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The records show 24,690 miles at the 18 January 2024 test, rising to 30,298 miles by 13 January 2025 and 36,505 miles by 15 January 2026. That equates to roughly 5,600 to 6,200 miles added each year, with no sudden accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse three-entry history carries no advisories, which points to light use and consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred correction of faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT file flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion across the cycle, so no recurring mechanical trend requires monitoring. Given the low annual distance, check for age-related perishing of tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses that mileage alone will not reveal. Confirm the service book matches the recorded intervals and verify underbody condition for early surface rust. The clean test record implies a careful prior owner, but DVSA checks do not assess intermediate wear between annual tests.
