2022 KIA Sportage GT-LN S ISG HEV 4X4 A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MJ22 CYU

The most recent MOT test on 22 April 2025 at 29,357 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the sole available test within the past 12 months passed without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues requiring repeated attention. However, the gap between the current date (24 July 2026) and the last MOT—just over a year—means the vehicle is now due for its next test, which will be the first opportunity to verify ongoing condition. Buyers should note that while the record is clean, no test can account for wear between inspections. The recorded mileage of 29,357 miles over approximately four years aligns with typical usage patterns for this vehicle’s age, averaging around 7,339 miles annually. There are no indications of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could suggest either consistent driving habits or a vehicle that has been stored intermittently. The lack of intermediate MOT tests or service records means there is no data to confirm whether maintenance intervals were adhered to, but the stable mileage suggests no extreme wear patterns should be expected from this metric alone. Given the sparse MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not routinely checked and can degrade silently. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been driven in varied conditions, as binding or uneven wear could develop without MOT detection. Additionally, the hybrid/electric powertrain components, such as the ISG (Intelligent Stop & Start) system and high-voltage battery health, should be assessed, though these are beyond standard MOT scope. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should also be inspected for corrosion, as this is not always visible from routine MOT checks.
