2021 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH70 AVF

The 2021 Kia Sportage presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 December 2025 at 36,713 miles. This most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any advisories. A pass on 30 December 2024 at 32,154 miles also recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness consistently over the last two years. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults suggests the powertrain, braking system, and suspension remain in sound operational condition. At roughly five years old with 36,713 miles recorded, the Sportage averages approximately 7,343 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical annual usage. The mileage progression demonstrates steady, consistent accumulation rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage surges. Between the January 2024 test at 26,861 miles and the December 2024 test at 32,154 miles, the vehicle covered 5,293 miles over eleven months. The subsequent year saw a slightly lower accumulation of 4,559 miles up to the December 2025 test, reflecting a minor reduction in daily usage but entirely normal wear patterns for a vehicle of this age. While the official record flags no specific recurring faults, a physical pre-purchase inspection remains essential, as an MOT only captures a snapshot of the vehicle on test day. A buyer should verify the condition of the mild hybrid system, ensuring the 48-volt auxiliary components and starter-generator operate seamlessly under load. Given the typical mileage, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature deterioration. Examine the diesel particulate filter and exhaust system for any signs of excessive soot or leaks, and assess the tyre tread depths and sidewalls for age-related cracking, as rubber degrades regardless of mileage.
