2009 KIA Sportage 2.0L Petrol · HP57 BAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in January 2026 which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, with the car passing consecutive tests over the last several years. Although there was a failure recorded in early 2025, the issue was rectified immediately to allow for a pass, indicating that the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements to maintain a clean service history. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of 17 years, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and gradual accumulation of mileage, moving from 69,923 miles in early 2023 to 83,766 miles at the start of 2026. This low usage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the aging of rubber components, seals, and hoses which may artwork due to time rather than distance traveled. While the digital history is clean and free of recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural rust. Given the age of the Sportage, it is critical to check the artwork arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion that might not yet trigger a test failure. Additionally, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushings and brakes to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in seized components or perished rubber from periods of stationary use.
