2020 KIA Sportage 4 Crdi ISG MHEV4X4 SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KW69 BWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having a clean pass in its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 121,823 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a major failure in early 2023. Since that period, the car has passed two consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle has since entered a stable state of repair. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per annum. The data shows a sharp increase in usage between January 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered 27,493 miles in just seventeen months. This high rate of accumulation typically places heavy strain on wear-related components, particularly the suspension and braking systems. While the most recent tests are clean, the rapid mileage suggests that components are reaching their service intervals faster than the average private car. A physical inspection should focus on the parking brake system and suspension geometry, given the past failures in 2023 related to low brake efficiency and a worn track rod end. Although these were resolved, the buyer should verify the integrity of the electronic parking brake switch and check for any binding in the calipers. The January 2024 advisory regarding a worn nearside tyre with stepped edge wear indicates potential alignment issues, so a thorough check of the current tyres and suspension bushings is necessary to ensure the high mileage has not caused uneven degradation.
