2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DB04 MEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 06 October 2025 at 47,858 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. This clean result follows a successful pass in 2024, suggesting that any previous mechanical or structural concerns have been addressed or have not yet manifested. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. The data shows a significant interval of 4,786 miles covered between April 2024 and October 2024, followed by another 8,169 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of engine seals, battery health, and braking systems. The only anomaly in the recorded history is the failure on 12 April 2024 at 34,901 miles, which was rectified immediately with a retest pass just three days later. While the record does not specify the exact reason for that failure, the lack of subsequent advisories suggests it was a minor consumable item such as a light bulb or a minor component adjustment. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake pad thickness, as these are the most likely components to show wear on a vehicle of this mileage regardless of a clean MOT history.
