2022 KIA Sportage 4 ISG Mhev 4X4 SA 1.6L Petrol · YA22 DDV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 9 June 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating a highly stable maintenance trend. The absence of any advisories or failures across the available records suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that exceeds the minimum legal safety requirements, with no evidence of systemic mechanical failure or accelerating wear. With a recorded mileage of 23,725 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,931 miles per annum. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a vehicle of this age. While this implies minimal wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and suspension components, low annual usage can sometimes be more detrimental than moderate use, particularly regarding the lubrication of moving parts and the health of the electrical system. Given the clean MOT history and low mileage, the primary focus of a physical inspection should be on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. You must closely examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can degrade and lose structural integrity over time even if the tread depth remains high. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which often occurs when a vehicle is left stationary for extended periods. Particular attention should be paid to the 12V battery health and the service history. In mild hybrid vehicles, the auxiliary battery can suffer from deep discharge if the car is not driven frequently. Verify that the engine oil and other essential fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than just mileage, as oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. Finally, ensure the service book is fully stamped to confirm that the warranty remains intact and that the 4x4 drivetrain has been maintained.
