2020 KIA Sportage 3 Crdi ISG Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FX70 WLP

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 78,233 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two previous clean passes in September 2024 and September 2023, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 45,306 to 66,915 miles. The most recent interval shows a further increase to 78,233 miles over eight months. This pattern suggests the car has been used heavily for long-distance commuting or fleet work, which generally puts less strain on the engine than short urban trips but accelerates wear on the chassis and drivetrain. Despite the absence of MOT failures, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear consumables. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are likely nearing the end of their service life given the 33,000 miles covered since 2023. The suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for signs of fatigue or cracking. The lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive. However, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure the oil changes and filter replacements kept pace with the rapid mileage accumulation. While the MOT record is clean, the actual mechanical health of a high-mileage diesel depends entirely on the maintenance performed between these annual tests.
