2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · SW21 RYO

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 20 December 2025 at 38,604 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a series of clean passes in June 2025 and June 2024, suggesting the mechanical and structural components have been maintained in good order. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between June 2024 and December 2025, the car covered 10,743 miles, which reflects regular usage patterns rather than long periods of stagnation. This steady interval is generally beneficial for vehicle components such as seals, tyres, and brake fluid, as it prevents the premature corrosion or flat spotting often associated with low-mileage, stationary vehicles. The only anomaly in the record is a single failure on 28 June 2024 at 27,862 miles, which was rectified before a retest just one mile later. While the record does not specify the exact cause of the failure, the immediate resolution suggests a minor component replacement, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault. Since no further advisories or failures appeared in the subsequent three tests, there is no evidence of recurring issues with the suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard consumable items like the tyres and brake pads, as these are the only parts subject to wear regardless of mileage. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the chassis should be free of significant corrosion or impact-related damage. The data points to a vehicle that has been cared for by owners who responded promptly to testing requirements.
