2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LF22 GSZ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent inspection on 24 January 2026 at 39,276 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that all mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum safety standards. This consistency across the last two tests shows no signs of recurring mechanical failures or deferred maintenance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. Between the 31 January 2025 test at 32,407 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 6,869 miles in just twelve months. This usage pattern suggests regular road use rather than the degradation risks associated with long periods of standing, or the increased wear and tear found in high-mileage commuting. Since the MOT history shows no prior mechanical faults or structural corrosion advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable items that fall between tests. A buyer should verify the tread depth and condition of the tyres for uneven wear and check the state of the brake pads and discs for scoring. Given the relatively low mileage, suspension bushes and coil springs should show minimal signs of fatigue, but a visual check for fluid leaks around the engine remains prudent practice to ensure the vehicle has been well-maintained.
