2022 KIA Sportage 3 ISG 1.6L Petrol · FG22 ABV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its two most recent MOT tests. The latest test on 2025-11-21 at 67,010 miles confirmed compliance, and the prior test on 2025-04-11 at 62,342 miles also showed no issues. This consistent pass record suggests the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase in usage, with 4,668 miles added over seven months between the two MOTs. This equates to an average of 667 miles per month, exceeding typical annual averages for a four-year-old vehicle. While the absence of defects is positive, the rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The sparse MOT history offers limited insight into long-term trends, but the lack of advisories or failures in this period is reassuring. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for leaks or rust, as high mileage can exacerbate such issues. Additionally, verifying the vehicle’s service history for tyre tread depth and brake fluid changes would provide further assurance, as these consumables are critical to safety and longevity.
