2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FP21 HCN

The 2021 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 97,880 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an earlier clean pass on 11 April 2024 at 66,363 miles. Two consecutive MOTs with zero advisories or failures indicate the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the recorded interval. Recorded mileage stands at 97,880 against an approximate five-year age, equating to roughly 19,576 miles per year. The jump from 66,363 miles in April 2024 to 97,880 miles by May 2025 shows 31,517 miles added in just over twelve months, a sharp annualised rise versus the prior implied rate. The DVSA history is sparse, with only two entries and no flagged faults, so the clean sheets give no evidence of skipped consumable care or deferred repairs within the tested windows. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage now being covered. The absence of advisories means no structural corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches were logged by the tester. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm the timing belt or chain interval for this Kia unit. Rapid accumulation after April 2024 raises the risk of accelerated drivetrain fatigue not yet visible in MOT data.
