2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · KY21 VOT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the last three annual MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 June 2026 at 48,618 miles resulted in no defects, indicating a stable and reliable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively, preventing the mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2024 test at 27,401 miles and the June 2025 test at 37,953 miles, the car covered 10,552 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 10,665 miles covered up to the June 2026 test. This regular usage pattern is ideal as it minimizes the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of standing or high-intensity mileage. Since the MOT history shows no advisories regarding corrosion, suspension components, or brakes, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear not captured by stationary testing. A buyer should verify the tread depth and condition of all four tyres and check for signs of uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. Given the clean record, the integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes appear to be in good order, but a visual check of fluid levels and brake pad thickness remains standard professional practice.
