2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SF06 AJF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT inspection in February 2026 at 63,740 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. This follows a period of escalating maintenance requirements seen in previous years. While the 2025 test flagged thinning rear brake pads and high parking brake lever travel, the most recent result suggests these issues have been addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. The record shows steady usage from 25,299 miles in March 2022 to 63,740 miles in February 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long periods of inactivity, indicating the vehicle has been used regularly for its intended purpose. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components. The March 2024 test revealed significant wear, including front brake discs that were pitted or scored and front pads that were 90% worn. The tester also noted worn rear suspension arm bushes and a tyre nearing the legal limit. While the 2026 pass indicates these specific issues were rectified, a physical inspection of the remaining brake life and the condition of the trailing arm bushes is necessary to ensure the previous trend of wear has not recurred.
