Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 with no failure items, but it did have two advisories noted. Both rear tyres were recorded as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This is not a new issue for this vehicle. The key pattern in the MOT history is a consistent advisory regarding the condition of the rear tyres. The same defect was noted in 2026, 2025, and 2024. In 2024, it was recorded for both tyres. This indicates a recurring issue that has not been fully resolved over the last three annual inspections, suggesting either a chronic problem with the tyres fitted, an underlying alignment issue causing uneven wear, or simply that tyres have been replaced with older stock. The 2024 test also noted a child seat was fitted, preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belts, which is a minor point but worth noting. Regarding the overall trend, the vehicle's MOT record is mostly clean, passing every year. However, the recurring tyre advisory shows a persistent maintenance or wear item that has not been permanently addressed.
