2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DX71 UYY

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 12 May 2025 at 23,942 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating a vehicle that currently meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards without any lingering mechanical concerns. The mileage is notably low for a five year old car, averaging roughly 4,788 miles per year. Between the 13 May 2024 test at 17,486 miles and the 12 May 2025 test at 23,942 miles, the car covered 6,456 miles. This suggests consistent, light usage rather than prolonged periods of standing, which reduces the likelihood of seized calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage examples. The absence of any advisories across both recorded tests suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The record implies the previous owner has managed the vehicle's upkeep effectively, as no consumable wear items like tyre tread or wiper blades were flagged for attention. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the service history to ensure the engine oil has been changed at the correct intervals despite the low annual mileage. Given the clean MOT record, there are no specific mechanical red flags to investigate, but a check for any dormant battery issues or fluid leaks is standard practice for cars with this usage pattern.
