2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · ND18 JOV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, reflecting a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 March 2026 at 87,960 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean streak spanning the last five years. This persistent lack of advisories or failures suggests the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance and that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2022 test at 55,992 miles and the March 2026 test at 87,960 miles, the vehicle covered 31,968 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation or sudden spikes that would suggest the car sat for long periods or was subjected to excessive heavy use, which reduces the likelihood of unexpected fluid degradation or seized brake components. While the digital record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear items associated with this mileage bracket and age. A buyer should specifically check the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade around 90,000 miles. Given the clean history, verifying the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or sticking calipers is also prudent to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects the actual current state of the braking system.
