2022 KIA Sportage 4 Crdi ISG MHEV4X4 SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SC72 HCZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status based on the most recent MOT test on August 27 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle passed the inspection without major failures despite an advisory for both front and rear brake pads wearing thin. This indicates that while consumable components are reaching the end of their service life, the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. At 59,702 miles after four years, this Kia Sportage has covered an average of nearly 15,000 miles per year. This mileage suggests consistent annual use rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically places more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date shows the vehicle is operating within its annual testing window, though the mileage accumulation reflects a higher profile. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads have been replaced recently. Since the tester flagged both axles as thinning, it is vital to check for scoring on the discs or signs of sticking calipers that follow neglect. Given the higher mileage, attention should also be paid to the suspension geometry, specifically looking for perished rubber bushes or worn control arms, which often degrade on high-mileage SUVs.
