2022 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · XY64 ROD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT inspection in January 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement from a minor failure in early 2025, which was promptly rectified. The clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the Sportage currently meets all minimum UK statutory requirements for safety and environmental standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a gap of 4,636 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, suggesting consistent but light usage over the last twelve months. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, long periods between use can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on braking components if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre pressure monitoring system to ensure the repair made in January 2025 remains functional and calibrated. Given the low annual mileage, it is advisable to check the brake discs for signs of surface pitting or rust which can occur on cars that are not frequently driven. No structural issues or suspension failures were noted in the history, so the focus should remain on the condition of rubber components and fluid levels consistent with age rather than high mileage.
