MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Kia Sportage (SD62 HWS) between November 2015 and March 2026.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
