2020 KIA Sportage GT-LN Crdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DL69 TMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 33,410 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the mechanical issues identified in previous years. While earlier tests flagged specific wear items, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding faults identified during the prior inspections. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Data shows steady usage over time, moving from 16,737 miles in November 2022 to 29,515 miles in September 2024, and reaching 33,410 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage generally suggests less strain on drivetrain components and engine, though it can sometimes lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between services. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring oil leak that was noted in both 2022 and 2024. Although the tester described it as not excessive at the time, the buyer must verify if the leak has been rectified or if it remains a persistent issue. Additionally, the front suspension arm bushes flagged as worn in 2024 should be re-checked for signs of further tearing or movement to ensure they were replaced and have not deteriorated since that test. Because the 2024 test lacked a full inspection of the rear seats and seat belts due to the Motability equipment, the buyer should manually verify these safety components to ensure they are fully functional and free of obstruction.
