2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · OV68 KFC

This 2018 Kia Sportage presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 May 2026 at 57,599 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical health. The overall pattern shows a clear improvement, with the last two consecutive tests returning completely clean sheets after a period of minor wear items in earlier years. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. There are no alarming gaps or sudden jumps in the recorded odometer readings, with steady progression from 37,232 miles in October 2022 through to the current 57,599 miles. The data is clean and continuous, suggesting regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity that can sometimes lead to dried seals or flat-spotted tyres. Despite the recent clean tests, the 2023 MOT at 42,482 miles flagged advisories on all four brake discs for wear, pitting, and corrosion. A buyer should inspect the current condition of the braking system closely, checking disc thickness, lipping, and any signs of uneven wear or binding calipers that could indicate deferred replacement. The nearside rear tyre was also noted as worn to 2.5 mm tread depth in that same test, and a similar advisory for the nearside front tyre appeared in 2022. This recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear warrants a thorough check of wheel alignment, suspension bushes, and tracking to rule out underlying geometry issues.
