2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FN68 YNH

The 2018 Kia Sportage presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 10 September 2025 at 45,164 miles. This most recent test recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards without compromise. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural failures across the recorded history suggests consistent, responsible ownership and timely rectification of any minor wear items before they escalate into serious faults. Accumulating roughly 5,646 miles annually, this Sportage falls well below the national average, reflecting exceptionally light use. The chronological mileage progression supports this low-mileage profile, showing a steady accumulation from 18,374 miles in October 2021 to 39,683 miles in September 2024. A notable gap exists in the records between September 2022 and September 2024, during which the vehicle covered approximately 13,933 miles. The most recent year saw a slight uptick in usage, adding 5,481 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. Despite the pristine MOT record, the anomalous failed test logged on 29 September 2022 at 25,749 miles warrants attention, particularly as the supplied data lists no specific defects for that failure. A buyer should verify the nature of that historic failure through the previous owner or a physical inspection to ensure no underlying structural or mechanical issue was masked or improperly repaired. Given the low annual mileage, prolonged periods of standing are likely, meaning a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls for perishing, brake disc corrosion, and suspension bush degradation is essential. While the record implies diligent upkeep, confirming the condition of consumables like brake fluid and rubber components will validate the vehicle's long-term structural integrity.
