2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · EJ66 HDF

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 26 April 2025 at 120,899 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the full history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. Mileage accumulation tracks at roughly 12,090 miles per year, which is high for a ten-year-old vehicle but consistent rather than sporadic. The records show steady annual use: 28,141 miles in March 2021, 49,310 in May 2022, 74,529 in April 2023, 97,418 in April 2024, and 120,899 in April 2025. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear between tests, and the DVSA data contains no gaps beyond normal twelve-month cycles. The absence of recorded faults means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues have been flagged by testers. A clean sheet across five consecutive passes suggests the previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. The high total mileage does imply heavier drivetrain and suspension loading than a lower-use example would show. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the brake calipers, suspension arms, and underbody for structural rust given the age and 120,899 miles. Verify the timing chain tension, gearbox condition, and tyre sidewall integrity in person, as these wear items fall outside the scope of an MOT pass with no advisories.
