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

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 56,506 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, indicating the car has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in high-mileage diesels. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2024 test at 23,780 miles and the December 2024 test at 34,771 miles, the car covered 10,991 miles in nearly a year. The subsequent jump to 56,506 miles by January 2026 shows a slight increase in annual usage, but the lack of any flagged defects during this period of higher mileage suggests the drivetrain and chassis are coping well with the load. Because the DVSA records are devoid of advisories, there are no specific recurring faults to highlight. The absence of mentions regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth across three tests is unusual and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they meet the minimum legal threshold. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads to determine if they are nearing the end of their service life. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for oil changes and filter replacements is the priority, as the MOT record confirms structural and safety compliance but does not document internal engine maintenance.
