2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · HK18 ACV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 43,066 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, indicating the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,383 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing by 8,500 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, and further by 8,506 miles by May 2025. This consistent usage suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The record shows a failure on 26 May 2023 at 27,830 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects, and the vehicle passed on the same day. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor rectification performed on site. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the tyre dates and tread depth, as low-mileage cars often run on old rubber that hardens over time. Inspect the brake fluid condition and check for any signs of surface rust on the underbody, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
