2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LE19 OTW

The 2019 Kia Sportage last passed MOT on 27 November 2025 at 61 426 miles, earning a pass with only advisories on front and rear brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). The vehicle is therefore roadworthy, but the recurring brake‑pad wear signals a maintenance issue that should be addressed. After a series of failures in May 2022, the car has shown a clear improvement, with no defects recorded in 2023 and 2024, and only the brake‑pad advisories remain. Mileage accumulation has accelerated in the final year of the record. From 46 408 miles in November 2024 to 61 426 miles in November 2025 the car gained roughly 15 000 miles in ten months, well above the historic average of around 8 800 miles per year. The MOT entries are spaced annually, and the most recent test falls eight months before the current date, indicating a timely inspection cycle. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system for thin pads and listen for caliper binding, check tyre tread depth and look for cuts or uneven wear on the front tyres, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or wear. A visual check of the rear child‑seat fittings is also advisable to ensure the adult belt can be fully inspected, and the wiper blades should be tested for proper operation.
