2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · MF16 FHV

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 January 2026 at 109,267 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a brief failure in early January 2025 which was rectified immediately to achieve a passing result, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 19,689 miles, while the interval between January 2024 and January 2026 saw a higher increase of 35,086 miles. This pattern reflects regular, active use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components, though it places standard stress on wear-related items like suspension bushings and braking systems. While the record is currently clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas typical for this age and mileage. Given the 110,000-mile mark, verify the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of weeping or perished rubber. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive thinning, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these components. A close look at the chassis for surface corrosion is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound for the next decade of use.
