2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DA70 WLO

The 2021 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 41,249 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of three consecutive annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the full history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any point in its recorded MOT life. Mileage accumulation has been moderate and consistent with typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 18,311 miles on 5 December 2023, 28,451 miles on 11 December 2024, and 41,249 miles on 8 December 2025. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year across the last two intervals, slightly above the 8,250-mile annual average implied by the total. The record shows no standing periods or abrupt jumps that would suggest irregular servicing patterns or hidden wear from disuse. Given the absence of any flagged defects, recurring corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions failures, the MOT data alone reveals no structural or mechanical risks requiring caution. The clean pass history implies the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep to DVSA standards. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test, such as tyre condition, wiper blades, and fluid levels, since these fall outside MOT fault reporting when within tolerance. The sparse but clean record offers strong assurance of roadworthiness as of the December 2025 test, seven months before the current date. No in-person verification of underbody structural integrity or drivetrain condition can be inferred from the entries, so a pre-purchase check remains prudent despite the fault-free history.
