2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LD18 AAJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, demonstrating a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 March 2026 at 77,080 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five annual tests suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard without allowing minor mechanical issues or structural corrosion to accumulate. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 42,155 miles and the March 2026 test at 77,080 miles, the car covered 34,925 miles at a steady rate of roughly 8,700 to 9,000 miles per year. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered long periods ofກັບ, which often leads to seal degradation in brake calipers or fuel system contamination. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults such as suspension bush wear or exhaust leaks, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components subject to wear at the 77,000 mile mark. At this mileage, the shock absorbers and coil springs should be checked for signs of weeping, and the thickness of the brake discs and pads should be verified. Given the clean electronic record, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains standard practice.
