2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DP21 JFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 at 28,221 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents an improvement over the previous year, as the tester found no remaining issues to flag. The mileage is notably low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,644 miles per year. Between 3 July 2024 and 24 July 2025, the car covered 9,689 miles. This suggests a moderate increase in usage over the last twelve months compared to the earlier life of the vehicle, but the overall odometer reading remains well below the national average for this age. The 3 July 2024 test at 18,532 miles highlighted wear on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins or bushes. While these did not cause excessive movement at the time, they were flagged as advisories. The clean pass in July 2025 indicates these components were either replaced or the wear had not progressed to a failure point. A buyer should verify if the rear suspension bushes were actually replaced or if the 2025 tester simply overlooked a persisting minor wear issue. Given the low mileage, the vehicle may have spent periods standing, so checking for tyre flat-spots or perished rubber seals is advisable. No evidence of structural corrosion or brake deterioration exists in the records.
