2020 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LR20 WUB

The 2020 Kia Sportage presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 March 2026 at 21,286 miles, passed with zero defects. This is a strong indicator of current mechanical health. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests since a minor wiper defect was rectified in March 2024. There are no recurring mechanical or structural advisories to suggest an underlying fault pattern. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle. Recorded at 21,286 miles, the annual average is approximately 3,548 miles. The history shows a steady, gradual accumulation: 9,852 miles in March 2023, 13,501 miles in March 2024, 17,121 miles in March 2025, and 21,286 miles in March 2026. This equates to a consistent yearly increase of roughly 3,500 to 3,600 miles, with no sudden jumps or prolonged gaps in testing that would suggest the car was sitting unused for extended periods. The record is complete and continuous from the vehicle's first test, providing a reliable data set. A buyer should approach this low-mileage profile with a specific focus on components that deteriorate with age and infrequent use rather than high mileage. The only defect on record, a failed front wiper assembly noted on 19 March 2024 at 13,501 miles, was a minor consumable item and was promptly fixed, as the re-test on the same day passed. No further action is required there. During an in-person inspection, particular attention should be paid to the condition of all rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, which can perish from age and lack of regular movement. The underbody and suspension mounting points should be checked for corrosion, a risk even on low-mileage vehicles if not regularly washed. Given the clean MOT history, a test drive should focus on verifying the smooth operation of the drivetrain and the absence of any binding brakes or uneven tyre wear, which would be unexpected for this mileage and could indicate a pre-existing issue not yet captured by the annual test.
