2018 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG S-A 1.7L Heavy oil · R44 XLE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on October 30 2024 at 49,895 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets all mechanical and safety requirements without triggering any failures in structural or operational components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 20,560 miles and the October 2023 test at 33,763 miles, the car covered 13,203 miles, followed by another 16,132 miles leading up to the 2024 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which often prevents the premature degradation of the drivetrain and braking systems compared to long-term stationary vehicles. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components that degrade with age rather than mileage. A buyer should check the rubber suspension bushes and tyre perishability for cracking, as low-mileage cars can suffer from dry rot if used infrequently. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are moving freely, as the tester did not flag binding issues or uneven wear in the last three tests.
