2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line ISG 1.6L Petrol · DV72 ONF

The recorded DVSA MOT history for this 2022 Kia Sportage GT-Line ISG presents an unblemished roadworthiness profile, with two consecutive pass entries and zero advisories or defects recorded against either test. The most recent examination on 16 March 2026 returned a clean pass, reinforcing what was observed at the prior test on 29 September 2025. With only two tests documented since the vehicle first became MOT-eligible at three years of age, the dataset is limited but entirely positive, indicating that no examiner has flagged any component for monitoring, repair, or failure at the time of testing. The absence of any recorded brake, suspension, tyre, corrosion, or emissions advisory means there is no historical pattern to investigate or warn against. With a recorded mileage of 39,856 miles spread across roughly four years, this Sportage has averaged approximately 9,964 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a vehicle of its age and class. There are no significant gaps in testing history that would suggest extended periods off the road, nor are there sudden mileage jumps between tests that might indicate inconsistent record-keeping or odometer irregularities. This steady, moderate accumulation is consistent with regular daily use, likely a mix of commuting and longer runs, which generally keeps consumables, drivetrain components, and brake systems working within their intended wear envelope. Given the absence of any recorded advisories, there are no specific components flagged by DVSA examiners that warrant targeted inspection beyond the standard pre-purchase evaluation. On a road test, attention should be paid to the general feel and operation of the brake system, checking for any judder, pulling under braking, or unusual pedal travel that could indicate worn discs or binding calipers, since no brake condition data exists in the MOT record to confirm or deny these concerns. Listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn drop links, control arm bushes, or top mount bearings, and pay particular attention to the steering rack for any knocking or slack on full lock. A thorough inspection underneath the vehicle for any fresh corrosion on subframe, brake lines, or suspension arms is also advisable, as the test history alone does not cover items examined only on a ramp. Although the MOT record is clean, it remains essential to verify the routine maintenance schedule has been followed, particularly for the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with its timing chain service interval and the dual-clutch or torque converter automatic gearbox, depending on the exact variant fitted to this GT-Line specification. Check the condition and quality of all four tyres, looking for even wear across the axles, as uneven wear can reveal alignment or suspension geometry issues that would not necessarily trigger an MOT failure. Finally, confirm that all electronic systems, infotainment features, and driver aids function correctly, and inspect the underbody and engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, coolant staining, or recent repair work that could indicate issues not yet formally tested.
