2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · YF66 AFY

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test one day prior on 22 October 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,370 miles per year. Between 18 October 2022 at 18,839 miles and 23 October 2025 at 23,698 miles, the car covered only 4,859 miles over three years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods standing or has been used for very short journeys. Low usage often leads to specific degradation not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers. The tyres may have sufficient tread but could be prone to flat-spotting or perishing due to age rather than wear. The absence of advisories across five years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. You should verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regardless of the low mileage. Check the battery health and the condition of the rubber suspension bushes, as these components often dry out and crack when a car is not driven regularly.
