2021 KIA Sportage JBL Black Edition ISG 1.6L Petrol · WN21 NSF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on January 12 2026 at 32,819 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards following a previous failure. The maintenance trend suggests a proactive approach to repairs, as the minor fault was immediately rectified to achieve a clean result in the subsequent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 18,867 miles and January 2025 at 23,797 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 5,000 miles, followed by a 9,000-mile increase in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This low annual mileage generally puts less strain on heavy mechanical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake assemblies compared to high-mile vehicles. The only failure recorded occurred on January 13, 2025, for a non-functional nearside front side repeater, a minor electrical/lighting fault that does not indicate deeper mechanical neglect. Because the record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake binding, or exhaust emissions failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard consumable wear. Check the tyres for age or flat spots due to low mileage and verify that the brake discs show surface pitting, which can occur on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
