2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SB21 WMX

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 50,482 miles resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is stable and reflects a vehicle that has been subjected to standard annual inspections without significant mechanical failures or recurring defects. While the latest test identifies windscreen damage, this is a minor cosmetic issue that does not currently compromise the structural integrity or legal compliance of the vehicle. The recorded mileage of 50,482 miles over a five-year period averages approximately 10,096 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The progression of mileage between the 2024 test at 33,726 miles and the 2026 test indicates consistent, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway accumulation. This steady accumulation suggests the drivetrain has been kept in regular operation, which generally mitigates the risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the 2024 test flagged thin brake pads. Although the vehicle passed subsequent inspections, verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the brake discs to ensure the previous owner performed adequate replacements. The reported damage to the indirect vision device in 2024 and the current windscreen defect suggest the vehicle may have been exposed to road debris or minor impacts, so check for any corresponding bodywork or trim damage that might not appear on an MOT certificate. Overall, the history suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided major mechanical neglect.
