2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SB71 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 27,344 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year. This suggests that the owner proactively addressed the issues identified during the 2024 test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 20,759 miles and the December 2025 test at 27,344 miles, the car covered 6,585 miles. This steady accumulation reflects typical usage without excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension components, though the low overall mileage increases the risk of premature mechanical degradation due to long stationary periods. The 2024 record flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit with signs of edge wear. While the 2025 pass confirms these were replaced, the initial wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn shocks. A buyer should inspect the current front tyres for uneven wear patterns and verify the suspension geometry has been corrected to ensure the underlying cause does not recur. Given the clean nature of the most recent report, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of rubber components and checking for any surface corrosion on the underbody.
