2018 KIA Sportage GT-Line 1.6L Petrol · GY18 OCG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 25 May 2024 at 48,357 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend continues across the previous three tests, indicating a stable maintenance history where the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without triggering failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2021 test at 31,026 miles and the May 2024 test at 48,357 miles, the vehicle covered 17,331 miles over three years. This slow accumulation suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts of the same age, though low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components or seizing of brake calipers if the car has not been driven regularly. While the digital record shows no failures related to brake performance or structural integrity, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to ageing rather than just mileage. A buyer should check for signs of surface corrosion on the exhaust system and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish over time. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for flat spotting or cracking, ensuring the rubber has not become brittle from long periods of standing.
