2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FN21 OVK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 April 2026 at 45,556 miles passed without any mechanical failures, although the tester noted a restriction regarding a rear child seat preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum DVSA safety standards during the latest annual check. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,111 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 29,170 miles and the April 2025 test at 37,624 miles, the vehicle covered 7,854 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 7,932 miles before the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits engine seals and suspension components. A buyer should pay specific attention to the condition of the tyres as the April 2025 test flagged a nail in the nearside rear tyre and signs of perishing or cracking. While the vehicle passed the following year, the age ofrelated rubber components warrants a physical check for dry rot, regardless of tread depth. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 report suggests the structural integrity and braking system have remained well-maintained, but an inspection of the suspension bushes and brake discs is still advisable to ensure no hidden wear has developed at the current mileage.
