2021 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN71 OBW

The Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 15 September 2025 at 44,132 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its short MOT history. The vehicle cleared the September 2024 test at 39,642 miles with no defects and passed again twelve months later with no advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical condition over the recorded period. Mileage stands at 44,132 against an approximate five-year age, equating to roughly 8,826 miles per year and sitting within typical use for this model. The gap between the two annual tests shows only 4,490 miles added, reflecting light private use rather than high motorway load. Records are sparse but entirely clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A failed test on 11 September 2025 at 44,127 miles warrants scrutiny despite the immediate pass four days later. The DVSA entry logs no defects against the failure, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate align with that anomaly. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across either pass. Given the clean record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on standard consumable checks: tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity for any latent rust the MOT did not capture.
