2021 KIA Sportage GT-LN Crdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric · LB21 ACX

The vehicle presents a strong current roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2026 at 72,728 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters during recent testing. The mileage profile reflects a high rate of use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,500 miles annually. The data shows consistent accumulation between tests, with 16,596 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 13,689 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. This frequent usage pattern places higher demands on wear-and-tear items compared to lower-average counterparts. The single failure recorded on 26 February 2024 at 42,441 miles occurred just five days before a successful pass, indicating a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 72,000-mile mark, examine the suspension bushes and bushings for signs of excessive play or perished rubber. While the MOT history does not flag brake issues, the high annual mileage justifies a thorough check of the brake pad thickness and the condition of the rotors. Because the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, though the high mileage necessitates a diligent review of the service history to ensure oil changes were performed according to schedule.
