2021 KIA Sportage GT-LN Crdi MHEV4X4 SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV71 NWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 July 2026 at 30,941 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have not yet progressed to a failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five year old vehicle. It covered 4,378 miles between the July 2024 test at 23,053 miles and the June 2025 test at 26,573 miles, followed by another 4,368 miles leading up to the July 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of the engine and braking system. A buyer should specifically verify the current condition of the front and rear suspension. The June 2025 test at 26,573 miles flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the offside front and nearside rear, alongside a severely deteriorated dust cover on the offside front anti-roll bar linkage. While these were listed as advisories and did not cause a failure, they point to premature wear in the chassis components. Confirm whether the previous owner replaced these suspension bushings and the linkage ball joint before the July 2026 test. Since the latest record is clean, these parts were likely replaced or the tester deemed the wear acceptable. A physical check for any remaining play in the steering or suspension geometry is advised to ensure the vehicle handles correctly.
