2021 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH71 KXR

The 2021 Kia Sportage presents a stable and entirely clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT test on 4 September 2025 at 30,405 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards. This clean bill of health, combined with the preceding test, demonstrates a maintenance trend that is stable and resolving, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults to flag. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the odometer moved from 21,287 miles to 30,405 miles, a jump of 9,118 miles in a single year. While this represents a notable increase in usage compared to the prior period, it remains within typical annual limits and suggests the vehicle has been actively used rather than sitting idle. Given the absence of advisories or failures, there are no specific recurring faults demanding immediate attention. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the condition of the hybrid battery system, given the MHEV powertrain, and the general wear of consumables like brake discs and tyres. The 9,000-mile jump in the last year warrants a close look at suspension bushes and exhaust mounts for any signs of fatigue from increased use. The structural integrity of the underbody should also be verified, ensuring no corrosion has developed around the subframes or suspension mounting points since the last test.
