2021 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD21 VDM

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the May 2026 MOT, passing with only an advisory that the rear brake pads are wearing thin. The same advisory appeared at the May 2025 test, indicating a consistent, non‑escalating wear pattern rather than a deteriorating fault. At 36,892 miles the 2021 KIA Sportage has logged roughly 7,400 miles per year, a mileage rate that aligns with typical usage for its age. The interval from the June 2024 test (23,822 mi) to the May 2025 test (30,962 mi) added 7,140 mi, while the year to the latest test added 5,930 mi, showing no abnormal spikes or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should confirm the rear brake pads are still within safe limits and inspect the corresponding brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. The 2024 emission failure suggests the exhaust system may have been marginal; a visual check for cracked pipes, loose connections, or a deteriorating catalytic converter is advisable. Although no structural defects have been recorded, a walk‑around inspection of the chassis for corrosion, suspension bushes, and coil springs will verify the vehicle’s overall integrity.
