2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · JS17 APS

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness status with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 28 February 2026 at 23,825 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in March 2025 at 15,308 miles, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have met all regulatory standards across consecutive inspections. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 and 2026 tests, the car covered 8,517 miles, suggesting regular but light use rather than prolonged neglect. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies, though it can occasionally lead to minor corrosion or tyre deformation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural concerns, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and any surface rust on the brake discs which can occur with infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of rubber components like suspension mounts and fluid seals is appropriate to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked age-related degradation.
