2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LA71 KXH

The 2026‑01‑14 MOT confirms the 2022 Kia Sportage is roadworthy, recording a pass with no defects at 21,118 miles and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage trajectory shows the vehicle has accumulated about 5,280 miles per year since its 2022 registration, a figure that is low for a four‑year‑old model. The 2025‑01‑17 test logged 16,785 miles, and the subsequent 2026‑01‑14 test recorded 21,118 miles, representing an increase of 4,333 miles in a single year, which is higher than the average annual mileage and suggests recent, more intensive use; the record is sparse, with only two tests available. A buyer should therefore inspect the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody. Since the record shows no prior advisories, the focus should be on confirming that the recent tyre wear has not progressed and that the suspension and braking components remain within specification.
