2020 KIA Sportage 4 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · LP69 GZL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 51,496 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple issues including front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This contrasts sharply with the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting a lapse in preventative attention regarding tyre condition in the most recent service interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 28,721 miles and January 2026 at 51,496 miles, the car covered 22,775 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate rather than periods of rapid accumulation. The annual intervals between MOT tests suggest the vehicle has been kept on a regular schedule, and the low overall mileage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer must inspect the front alignment and suspension geometry due to the uneven wear noted in the January 2026 report. The recurring mention of tyre issues, specifically the out of shape rear tyres in 2023 and edge wear in 2026, indicates potential issues with tracking or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. While the history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the focus on tyre-related faults necessitates a thorough check of the wheels and steering integrity prior to purchase.
