2021 KIA Sportage GT-LN S Crdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · T22 HOM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent inspection in January 2026 at 28,293 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable trend across the last three tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically flagged during DVSA testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,659 miles annually. Between the October 2023 test at 15,592 miles and the September 2024 test at 21,865 miles, the car covered 6,273 miles, while the subsequent interval saw another 6,428 miles leading into 2026. This consistent low-mile usage suggests light commuting, which generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies compared to high-mile counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no history of recurring faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for perish or cracking in rubber hoses and suspension bushes, as vehicles that sit frequently can experience material degradation faster than those driven regularly. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to rust accumulation on the rotors.
