2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · GC18 GCZ

The 2026‑06‑16 MOT at 64,412 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. All preceding tests from 2021 through 2025 also show passes with no recorded failures, demonstrating consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen from 22,100 miles in July 2021 to 64,412 miles in June 2026, averaging about 8,050 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 2021 to 2022 (22,100 to 29,540 miles) and from 2022 to 2023 (29,540 to 37,763 miles) shows rapid accumulation in those years, but subsequent intervals remain roughly consistent, suggesting no prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, and examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or uneven wear, given the edge‑worn tyre pattern noted in 2021. Visual checks for structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and underbody are advisable, as are assessments of tyre tread depth and condition, since the 2021 record flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit on all corners. No advisory notes or recurring mechanical failures appear in the DVSA history, and the vehicle has passed each annual test without defect, but a thorough in‑person examination of the identified components remains essential before purchase.
