2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FN66 XAA

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 56,051 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 31,907 miles at the 25 August 2021 test, rising to 35,607 by 31 August 2022, 41,724 by 23 August 2023, 50,224 by 31 August 2024, and 56,051 by 1 September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The consistently low annual use and clean sheets imply a cautious owner who kept the car lightly run and presumably garaged, though long standing periods can hide intermittent issues not caught in a single annual inspection. No advisories or failures appear across the history, so the Sportage carries no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural concerns from DVSA data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage cars left unused for stretches can develop seized handbrake mechanisms or surface corrosion unseen by the tester. Given the absent defect record, focus physical checks on tyre sidewall condition, fluid degradation, and cam belt interval rather than rectifying known faults. The vehicle's paper history suggests sound upkeep, but MOT cleanliness on a low-use car does not certify component longevity beyond the test day.
