2022 KIA Sportage Launch Edition ISG 1.6L Petrol · RC53 ROW

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent inspection on 6 January 2026 at 29,472 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced a minor defect regarding offside front seat belt webbing. This indicates that while the primary mechanical and structural components are meeting standards, minor interior trim items are beginning to show signs of wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 7,368 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 17,503 miles and the January 2026 test at 29,472 miles, the vehicle covered 11,969 miles. This increase suggests the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals and brake components compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the offside front seat belt to determine if the fraying is superficial or requires immediate replacement for safety. Since the MOT record shows no previous defects regarding brake performance, suspension components, or structural corrosion, the focus should shift to verifying the condition of consumables such as tyres and brake pads. The lack of recurring mechanical failures suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard level.
