2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · GC21 VZF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 September 2025 at 25,722 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car meets all current regulatory requirements. This consistent clean record suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, addressing issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,144 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 14,387 miles and the September 2025 test at 25,722 miles, the car covered 11,335 miles. While this low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to brake spotting or tyre corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting, as infrequent use prevents the pads from clearing the rotors effectively. Given the age versus mileage, verifying the condition of rubber components and suspension bushes is essential to ensure they have not perished or cracked despite the lack of mechanical wear.
