2023 KIA Sportage GT-LN S ISG HEV 4X4 A 1.6L Hybrid electric · MW18 BEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on March 4, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent inspection flagged an advisory for brake pads wearing thin across all wheels. This indication suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its current consumable life cycle, requiring immediate attention to prevent damage to the brake rotors or a failure in the next inspection. At a recorded mileage of 27,537 miles after three years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,179 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern SUV, suggesting the car has not been subjected to excessive motorway mileage or heavy urban wear. The data is sparse due to the vehicle's relative youth, but the lack of major failures in the recorded test indicates the structural integrity and primary mechanical components remain in generally good condition. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to confirm if the pads have been replaced since the March advisory. Since the tester noted thin pads all around, it is vital to check the discs for scoring or uneven wear which could indicate a binding caliper or seized hardware. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for any signs of premature cracking or perished rubber, as these components sometimes degrade over time if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
