2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · KW66 MWL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 24 September 2025 at 88,779 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect passes across the last five annual tests. This stability suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to basic mechanical upkeep, as the vehicle has failed to flag issues in braking systems, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 30,716 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without unexplained spikes or long periods of immobility. The interval of 10,325 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular road use, which is generally more beneficial for vehicle components like seals and brake calipers compared to the dry rot or flat spots often associated with long-term stationary cars. While the digital record shows no advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Kia Sportage wear points. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or fatigue, as these often degrade around the 90,000-mile mark regardless of a clean MOT. Check the underbody for surface corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant depth threshold. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but verifying the condition of the tyres and the absence of fluid leaks from the engine bay or gearbox would complete the technical evaluation.
