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 (SE12 HWA) between July 2015 and July 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 06 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Inner Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2”; “Offside Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure 235/55/18 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
