2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line ISG 1.6L Petrol · RO22 AFE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and focused on minor consumable items rather than mechanical or structural failures. While the car failed the initial test on April 9, 2026, due to defective front windscreen wipers, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass indicate the owner is responsive to addressing MOT-related safety requirements. At 39,194 miles over four years, the Sportage has averaged approximately 9,800 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical national averages for a modern SUV and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress. The interval between the April 2025 test at 30,600 miles and the 2026 test at 39,194 miles shows a consistent usage pattern of roughly 9,500 miles, indicating predictable wear on components. A buyer should specifically inspect the windscreen wiper assembly and glass condition, as this component triggered failures in two consecutive annual tests. Given that the record shows no advisories regarding brake components, suspension components, or structural corrosion, the focus should remain on verifying the lack of wear on the tyres and bushes. The clean history regarding mechanical systems suggests no neglect, but a physical check of the underbody and fluid levels remains necessary to supplement the digital MOT data.
