2020 KIA Sportage 4 Crdi ISG MHEV4X4 SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LG70 FBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 47,114 miles resulted in a pass with no new advisories, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This suggests the owner is reactive to necessary safety-critical repairs once they are flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,850 miles per annum. Between September 2023 at 33,229 miles and September 2024 at 41,793 miles, the car covered 8,564 miles, which represents steady, typical usage. This low mileage prevents excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, while the regular intervals between tests suggest the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing that could lead to degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry to ensure the repair to the nearside front track rod end from 2024 was executed correctly. While the vehicle passed subsequently, the recurring advisory regarding the deteriorated rear registration plate across four consecutive tests suggests a lack of attention to minor cosmetic maintenance items. This plate should be replaced to ensure full compliance with visibility standards, though the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or brake-related failures which are positive signs for an SUV of this age.
