2019 KIA Sportage Platinum Edition ISG 1.6L Petrol · MF69 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear-related issues. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 28,827 miles passed, it highlighted thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs on both front sides. This represents a departure from the clean record in 2023, indicating that the braking system is now entering a cycle of replacement despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,118 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 17,566 miles in September 2023 to 28,827 miles by August 2025. This low frequency of use suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though the long periods between tests can contribute to the corrosion seen on metal components, such as the surface condition of the front brake discs noted in the 2025 inspection. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking assembly. The 2025 advisory regarding pitting and scoring suggests the discs may suffer from judder or inefficiency if not replaced. The 2024 failure for a nail in the offside rear tyre and the 2022 failure for an ineffective wiper indicate that minor consumable items are only addressed when they fail inspection. Verify the current condition of the wipers and check the headlight alignment, as the adjuster required multiple adjustments across the testing history.
