MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2011 Kia Sportage (SA61 XDV) between August 2014 and April 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 29 April 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
