AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2020 KIA SPORTAGE's roadworthiness status is currently stable, as indicated by the February 2026 MOT test, which showed a passed result at 37,078 miles. However, the preceding test on the same day revealed several faults, including a failed test due to issues with the offside windscreen wiper, offside track rod end ball joint, and nearside rear tyre condition. The mileage pattern of the vehicle appears typical for its age, with approximately 6,180 miles per year recorded. The vehicle's mileage history shows steady progression: 17,621 miles in February 2023, 24,677 miles in March 2024, 31,468 miles in March 2025, and 37,078 miles in February 2026. There are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation periods evident in the record. The recurring faults in the MOT history suggest that the buyer should inspect certain components in person. The nearside rear tyre has been flagged multiple times for damage, cracking, or perishing, indicating potential ongoing issues with tyre wear or condition. Suspension components, specifically track rod end ball joints, have also been noted for excessive play on multiple occasions, which could affect the vehicle's handling and stability. Although the braking system showed marginal performance in the 2024 test, with the offside rear parking brake efficiency only just meeting the required standard, there have been no critical brake-related faults reported since then. A thorough inspection of these areas would provide a clearer understanding of the vehicle's current condition.
