2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DF16 RZZ

The 2026-06-17 date indicates that the most recent MOT entry was taken on 2025-08-05, placing the vehicle's last inspection approximately six months prior to the current date. This suggests the vehicle has maintained consistent roadworthiness for a relatively short period, with no evidence of a sudden drop-off in performance that would indicate a deteriorating trend or a significant backlog of repairs. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 6,971 miles annually, which aligns with its age of approximately ten years. While the cumulative mileage is moderate, the data is not sparse; rather, it reflects a steady progression through the vehicle's lifecycle. The absence of gaps in the MOT history suggests that the owner has maintained a consistent driving schedule and routine maintenance habits, meaning the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components has been managed at a normal rate without accelerated degradation. Based on the recorded faults, the vehicle presents a mixed picture of mechanical issues and minor wear. While the most recent inspection in August 2025 passed the test, the history reveals recurring problems in the rear children's seat, front windscreen wiper blade, and multiple tyre conditions including cracking or perishing, particularly on the offside tyres. These recurring structural and consumable defects indicate that the vehicle has not undergone adequate basic upkeep, such as regular tyre rotation or tread checking, which would otherwise prevent the accumulation of wear that could lead to failure. The presence of a worn brake disc and a defective wiper blade further supports the view that the vehicle requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.
