2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FV71 XRS

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness as evidenced by its clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 17 June 2025 at 53,159 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without any recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2025 test at 39,982 miles and the June 2025 test at 53,159 miles, the car covered 13,177 miles in just five months. This rapid rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle is likely used for long-distance commuting or motorway travel, which typically results in more predictable wear on drivetrain and suspension components compared to short-distance city driving. While the MOT records show no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to wear at this mileage bracket. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue, as high annual mileage puts stress on these assemblies. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, given the heavy use indicated by the mileage data.
