2021 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LE21 DKL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 2 January 2026 at 61,456 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous two inspections. This consistency suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without immediate signs of mechanical failure or safety concerns. The mileage data indicates a significant surge in usage during recent periods. Between the June 2024 test at 40,879 miles and the June 2025 test at 61,375 miles, the car covered 20,496 miles in a single year. This is substantially higher than the annual average of 12,291 miles calculated over the vehicle's lifespan. While the total mileage of 61,456 miles is above average for a five-year-old SUV, the high mileage typically accelerates the wear on suspension-related components and drivetrain assemblies. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature fatigue, as the increased mileage puts strain on these parts. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or thinning, as the MOT does not always detect minor binding calipers. Given the recent spike in annual mileage, verifying the service history for oil changes and fluid intervals is essential to ensure the mild hybrid system and engine have received the necessary lubrication.
