2022 KIA Sportage 4 ISG HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL22 HLM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 July 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable as there are no mechanical failures or structural defects recorded in the available history. However, the tester flagged an advisory regarding both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, indicating a need for replacement. At 18,526 miles over four years of age, this Sportage has covered a low annual distance, averaging approximately 4,632 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat for extended periods between trips or MOT testing intervals. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front tyres to determine the cause of the edge wear noted in July 2025. This often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which may require immediate attention. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the brake rotors for surface pitting and to ensure the braking system has not seized due to lack of use. The record shows no structural rust or exhaust issues, so the focus remains on these consumable items and basic geometry.
