2022 KIA Sportage Gtln S Crdi MHEV4X4SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · EJ71 HPZ

The maintenance trend for this 2022 Kia Sportage is stable, culminating in a clean bill of health during the most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 44,713 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle met all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at that time. An anomaly appears in the record from 23 January 2025 at 41,738 miles, where a failed test is logged alongside zero defects, likely indicating an aborted test or an emissions reading failure that was rectified immediately, given the clean pass recorded on the exact same day. Overall, the vehicle presents as mechanically sound with no recurring faults or unresolved advisories. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,178 miles annually. Between the initial test on 22 March 2022 at just 67 miles and the January 2025 test at 41,738 miles, the car covered approximately 41,671 miles over a 34-month period, indicating consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing. The 2,975 miles covered between the January 2025 and November 2025 tests further confirms steady, ongoing usage without any sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the record. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on the wear characteristics typical of a diesel mild-hybrid four-wheel-drive platform. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the regenerative braking system on MHEVs can sometimes lead to corrosion on lightly used rear components. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside an underbody examination for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and structural mounting points. Given the failed test anomaly in January 2025, verifying the current exhaust emissions output and ensuring the diesel particulate filter remains unclogged will confirm the engine management system is operating within optimal parameters.
