2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · EK71 KLC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 October 2025 at 23,222 miles passed without defects or advisories. This indicates that the minor issues identified in the previous year were addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental requirements. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,644 miles per annum. Between October 2024 at 17,352 miles and October 2025 at 23,222 miles, the car covered 5,870 miles. This suggests relatively light use, which typically results in less strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or dried seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the current condition of the tyres, as the October 2024 test flagged a nail in the nearside rear tyre and defective front wiper blades. While these are consumable items, a physical inspection should ensure quality replacements were made and that the remaining rubber has adequate depth. Since there are no records of structural corrosion or brake binding, the focus should remain on confirming the service history matches the low mileage to ensure fluids and mechanical components have been maintained despite the infrequent use.
