2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FV71 CMU

The Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 33,745 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date showing no defects logged, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 11 November 2024 test at 27,050 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening conditions across its short history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 27,050 miles in November 2024 to 33,745 miles by October 2025, a gain of 6,695 miles over eleven months, equating to roughly 6,749 miles per year overall. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the sparse but clean record. The limited entries suggest light use with no indication of prolonged standing or neglected annual testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by a fault-free MOT. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission concerns at either examination. Given the low mileage, original tyres, wiper blades, and brake friction material may remain fitted and merit measurement for age-related degradation rather than wear. Structural integrity and drivetrain components show no flagged risk in the official data. The duplicate 29 October 2025 entries with one failure and one pass warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal reflect a valid current certificate. Beyond verifying paperwork, no mechanical red flags from the record require corrective action before purchase.
