2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SL71 AAO

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 24,438 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test on 22 August 2024 at 17,336 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 24,438 over five years equates to approximately 4,888 miles per year. This represents significantly lower usage than the UK average, suggesting the vehicle has seen light use or primarily short-distance trips. The progression from 17,336 miles in August 2024 to 24,438 miles in August 2025 shows a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles over the twelve-month period. This consistent usage pattern is generally preferable to long periods of inactivity, which can lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. Because the MOT history is entirely clear of advisories, there are no specific mechanical trends like worn suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, or failing exhaust emissions to flag from the records. A buyer should focus on verifying that the low mileage is consistent with the service history to rule out odometer tampering. Since the vehicle has been driven sparingly, an inspection should specifically check for any signs of age-related degradation in rubber seals, tyres, or battery health that often affects low-mileage vehicles.
