2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · KL68 HAE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 18 February 2026 at 52,906 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just five days prior at 52,862 miles. While the record shows no specific reason for that failure, it suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle cleared the re-test shortly thereafter. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between February 2024 (32,854 miles) and February 2025 (40,483 miles), the car covered 7,629 miles. The more recent interval saw 12,423 miles covered in the year leading up to the 2026 tests. This increase indicates regular driving, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber seals and components associated with long periods of the vehicle standing stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to wear at this mileage level, despite the clean MOT history. Given the Sportage's age, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or premature fatigue. The record does not flag recurring brake issues or binding calipers, but a manual check of the brake discs for uneven pitting or thinning is advisable. Ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains free of corrosion, as no rust advisories were noted in the previous tests.
