2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · RV68 AEC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 35,648 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in this model. The mileage is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,456 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, growing from 14,300 miles in July 2021 to 35,648 miles by July 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history, which suggests the car has seen light, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of standing. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no specific mechanical red flags such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks to highlight. The absence of advisories over five consecutive years is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should still perform a physical check on the rubber components. Low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from perished tyres or degraded wiper blades due to age rather than wear. Checking for any signs of brake caliper binding or fluid degradation is also prudent, as components can seize when not cycled frequently. Otherwise, the documented history suggests a mechanically sound vehicle.
