2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SC70 GGO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 1 December 2025 at 36,011 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows an unexpected failure just one month prior on 4 November 2025 at 35,447 miles. While the record does not specify the fault, the immediate pass thereafter suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified quickly before the subsequent test. At 36,011 miles over five years, the Sportage averages approximately 7,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern SUV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between September 2023 and December 2024, and another 6,562 miles recorded between December 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme long-distance strain nor suffered from long periods of total stationary inactivity. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion, brake leaks, or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear. Given the low mileage, the buyer should check for age-related rubber degradation in suspension bushes and tyres, which can occur despite low mileage. The lack of any noted binding calipers or thinning brake discs in the records indicates the previous owners maintained the mechanical systems, but a manual check of the brake fluid and pads remains necessary to ensure no internal pitting has occurred.
