2022 KIA Sportage 3 ISG 1.6L Petrol · RE22 XOO

The 2022 Kia Sportage 3 ISG holds a current MOT that is valid until 20 May 2027, having passed its most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 30,494 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but shows a recurring minor advisory that has persisted across consecutive annual tests. The vehicle has not failed an MOT, and no serious mechanical or structural defects have been recorded. The only flagged item is a repeat advisory concerning the offside front tyre wearing close to legal limits and on its outer edge, which suggests a slow, ongoing issue rather than a sudden failure. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. Between the 2025 test on 19 May at 22,510 miles and the 2026 test on 21 May at 30,494 miles, the vehicle covered 7,984 miles in twelve months. This aligns with the overall annual average of roughly 7,624 miles since new, indicating regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or unusually high demand. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concerns about mileage tampering or extended periods of neglect. The recurring advisory on the offside front tyre is the only item a buyer should examine closely. Outer edge wear on a front tyre typically points to a tracking or alignment issue, possibly combined with underinflation or aggressive cornering. A buyer should inspect the offside front tyre sidewall for uneven wear patterns and have the front suspension geometry checked, including camber and toe settings, to rule out worn suspension bushes or a misaligned subframe. The nearside front tyre should also be compared for symmetry, as asymmetric wear often confirms an alignment fault rather than simple underinflation. Beyond the tyre advisory, the MOT record is clean, with no mentions of brake disc wear, binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underside for stone damage or early corrosion on the exhaust and suspension components, and verify that all brake pads and discs are within serviceable limits. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard, with the only notable concern being a persistent front tyre wear pattern that warrants a straightforward alignment check.
