2021 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · ST70 BOS

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT record across three consecutive years. The most recent inspection in April 2026 at 73,555 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully ensured the vehicle meets DVSA safety standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester. At 73,555 miles over five years, the Sportage averages approximately 14,700 miles per annum. This figure exceeds the national average for a passenger car and suggests consistent motorway or commercial use. The mileage shows a steady progression, with 8,836 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 14,525 miles recorded between 2025 and 2026. Such regular accumulation implies the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and fluid components. While the MOT history is flawless, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to high-frequency wear. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry, specifically checking for perished control arm bushes or worn coil springs which often degrade at this mileage interval. The braking system requires a visual check for thin pad material and scored discs, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than remaining component life. Given the mild hybrid powertrain, verifying the health of the battery system and checking for any oil leaks around the turbocharger would be high-priority areas of concern.
