2021 KIA Sportage GT-LN Crdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LB21 ACZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-10-21 at 45,210 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests in 2024-02-06 show conflicting outcomes—both listed as PASSED and FAILED at the same mileage (44,248 miles), which may reflect a data inconsistency. Assuming the latest pass is accurate, there is no evidence of escalating mechanical issues, and the absence of defects suggests routine upkeep has been maintained. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,210 miles over five years equates to approximately 9,042 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A gap between the February 2024 tests (44,248 miles) and the October 2024 test (45,210 miles) shows minimal mileage increase (962 miles), implying limited recent use. This could indicate periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, brakes, or suspension. The sparse defect history does not highlight recurring mechanical concerns, but the low mileage growth since mid-2024 warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s operational state. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the age. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or corrosion, as inactivity can exacerbate these issues. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity are not flagged in the records, but the vehicle’s 2021 build date means rust or corrosion in underbody areas remains a potential risk. Buyers should also verify the accuracy of the MOT data, as the duplicate 2024-02-06 entries may obscure critical details.
