2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FH18 THG

The 2018 Kia Sportage demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without a single defect. The most recent examination on 12 November 2025 at 69,483 miles returned a clean result, recording zero advisories or failures. This flawless record suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing wear items proactively before they escalated into testable faults. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,685 miles annually. Between the 2 July 2022 test at 40,106 miles and the 8 July 2023 test at 47,616 miles, the Sportage covered 7,510 miles. The following year, up to 22 June 2024 at 56,229 miles, saw 8,613 miles added. A slight uptick occurred in the most recent year, with 10,883 miles accumulated between 18 November 2024 at 58,600 miles and the 12 November 2025 test at 69,483 miles. The data is entirely clean, showing no anomalies or suspicious mileage gaps. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential at this mileage. The tester flagged no issues in November 2025, yet consumable components like brake discs, pads, and tyre sidewalls operate on finite lifespans that may not align perfectly with the test date. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as higher annual mileage in the last twelve months accelerates wear on these components. Check the underbody and wheel arches for early signs of corrosion, since surface rust often escapes MOT advisories until it compromises structural integrity.
