2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SN21 DFT

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 20 May 2026 at 28,809 miles passed with no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous two years. This consistent performance suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural integrity issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,760 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 13,959 miles and the 2025 test at 20,167 miles, the car covered 6,208 miles, followed by another 8,642 miles prior to the 2026 test. This low usage indicates short-distance commuting or infrequent use which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and brake systems compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the digital record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. Long periods of standing can lead to flat spots on tyres or seized brake calipers, so the brakes should be checked for free movement and even wear. Additionally, rubber components and suspension bushes should be inspected for cracking, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of the low mileage recorded on the odometer.
