Mechanical Assessment

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

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 132,109 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable. The vehicle cleared the 11 January 2024 test at 109,168 miles, the 9 January 2025 test at 120,266 miles, and the January 2026 test, all with clean sheets. Two failed entries on the same dates as the passes at 120,265 and 132,109 miles show no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,400 miles per year against the 14-year-old vehicle's 132,109 total, a typical figure for the age. The record jumps from 109,168 miles in January 2024 to 120,266 in January 2025, then to 132,109 by January 2026, giving an even 11,000-ish miles per year across the last two intervals with no standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing no wear flags on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension components, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the car's age and 132k mileage, even though the MOT log stayed clean. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs at 120,265 and 132,109 miles suggest the previous owner or garage processed retests without noted rectification, so confirm the V5C and test certificate align. No recurring consumable or mechanical faults appear in the record, but fourteen years of use warrants checking for undocumented rust and degraded coil springs.
