2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · ME07 GEE

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 at 53,205 miles with no recorded defects. The earlier failure on 18 December 2024 for insufficient brake‑lever reserve travel appears to have been remedied, indicating a stable or improving maintenance pattern. Across a four‑year span the odometer has risen from the initial registration to 53,205 miles, averaging roughly 13,300 miles per year. This mileage is above the typical range for a 2022 model, suggesting relatively intensive use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. No large mileage gaps are evident; the progression from 46,070 miles in late 2024 to 53,205 miles by early 2026 reflects steady accumulation. A prospective buyer should verify that the brake‑lever travel is now within specification and that the front and rear brake discs and pads show no excessive wear or glazing. Removing the nearside rear child seat will allow a full inspection of the adult seatbelt and its anchorage points. Given the high mileage, a visual check of suspension components—particularly bushings, coil springs, and any signs of uneven tyre wear—will help gauge remaining life. Finally, a cursory examination for surface rust or corrosion on the chassis and under‑body panels will confirm the structural integrity expected of a vehicle of this age.
