2022 KIA Sportage 3 ISG 1.6L Petrol · WF22 ADU

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent November 2025 MOT at 47,232 miles. The prior November 2024 test at 39,127 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. No advisories or failures are documented, suggesting the owner has addressed minor wear promptly. The absence of recurring faults indicates the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, though this does not guarantee long-term reliability beyond compliance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, accumulating 8,105 miles between MOTs—a rate of approximately 11,808 miles annually. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, ruling out prolonged inactivity or excessive strain on components. The clean MOT history implies regular servicing, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into underlying mechanical health. Buyers should verify service records to confirm adherence to manufacturer guidelines, particularly for high-mileage components like timing belts or transmission fluids. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, as coil springs and bushes often degrade over time without visible external signs. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, which may not appear in MOT tests. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for rust, as corrosion can develop in hidden areas. While the MOT data shows no immediate risks, these areas remain critical for long-term safety and should be assessed by a qualified mechanic before purchase.
