2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · HF18 NMM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness trend, evidenced by five consecutive passes without recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test conducted on 16 January 2026 at 77,742 miles confirms that the vehicle met the required safety standards at that time, with no mechanical or structural issues flagged by the examiner. This sequence of clean passes indicates that the vehicle has remained compliant with statutory requirements over the last four years. The recorded mileage of 77,742 miles over eight years averages approximately 9,718 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The testing intervals have remained consistent, with annual inspections occurring between May and January. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest extended periods of inactivity or irregular usage patterns. Despite the absence of recorded defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer must physically inspect common wear items that fall outside the scope of an MOT test. Focus the assessment on the condition of the brake pads and discs, as these components are subject to replacement based on friction material thickness rather than just the performance metrics measured during a test. Examine the suspension bushes and dampers for signs of fluid leakage or perishing rubber, as these components frequently exhibit wear at this mileage. Verify the operation of all electronic systems and ensure the engine bay shows no evidence of oil leaks or cooling system degradation, as the MOT record does not provide insight into the internal mechanical health of the powertrain. Buying score 85. Risk level Low.
