2022 KIA Sportage 3 Phev 4X4 Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · LD72 HBP

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025. At 75,585 miles, it passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards at that time. The lack of recorded advisories suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the high mileage necessitates a closer look at wear-and-tear items. The mileage profile is significantly high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year. This level of usage typically indicates long-distance motorway commuting or heavy commercial application, which places specific stresses on the hybrid powertrain and suspension suspension geometry compared to average private use. While the October 2025 test shows no failures, the rapid accumulation of over 75,000 miles means consumables are likely approaching their replacement intervals sooner than the standard schedule. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components most affected by high-mileage wear. Focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for signs of premature fatigue or perished rubber. Given the mileage, the braking system should also be checked for uneven pad wear or thin discs, as the regenerative braking systems in PHEVs can sometimes allow physical calipers to seize if not used frequently. Finally, inspect the underbody for any corrosion to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
