2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DP18 KXT

The 2018 Kia Sportage is presently roadworthy, having passed the August 2025 MOT at 51,323 miles with only tyre wear recorded as defects and no other failures. The test outcome shows a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has cleared each successive inspection without developing serious mechanical faults. The mileage progression reflects a consistent annual increase of roughly 9,000 to 12,000 miles, from 9,128 miles in July 2021 to 51,323 miles in August 2025, aligning with the typical 6,400 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old car and indicating regular use without long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear that may have contributed to the edge wear on both front tyres, examine the rear brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for scoring, and check the chassis and wheel arches for any structural rust or previous corrosion repairs; the recurring tyre wear suggests a need to assess alignment settings and suspension condition before finalising the purchase.
