2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FV71 XPH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 December 2025 at 17,698 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle is currently operating within manufacturer safety parameters and that no mechanical or structural failures were identified during the last two testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,424 miles annually. Between the December 2024 test at 16,305 miles and the December 2025 test at 17,698 miles, the car covered only 1,393 miles. This low usage suggests infrequent operation or short-distance commuting, which typically implies that components like the drivetrain and suspension assembly have seen minimal mechanical stress compared to average market examples. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a prospective buyer should focus on physical indicators of low-mileage usage patterns. Low mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Inspect the brake rotors for surface pitting and check the tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or age rot. While the electronic record is clean, verify the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid checks were performed on time intervals rather than mileage to prevent engine degradation.
