2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · RF21 FMA

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 July 2025 at 25,605 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from the previous year's test, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within operational parameters without any flagged failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,121 miles per annum. Between the July 2024 test at 20,932 miles and the 2025 test, the car covered 4,673 miles. This consistent usage suggests infrequent operation, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, brake components, and suspension bushings, though it can occasionally lead to rubber degradation or brake corrosion if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural concerns, a physical inspection should focus on potential issues associated with low-mileage use. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and seized calipers which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Verifying the condition of the suspension-related rubber for cracking and ensuring all fluid levels are correct is also advisable, as the low mileage does not negate the age-related degradation of perishable components.
