2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · YL18 AEB

This Kia Sportage presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 65,123 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a condition that exceeds typical wear for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eight year old vehicle. Between the August 2022 test at 34,793 miles and the August 2025 test at 65,123 miles, the car covered 30,330 miles over three years. This averages roughly 10,110 miles per year in the most recent period, showing a steady usage pattern without any erratic gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. The record shows a single failure on 8 August 2022 at 34,792 miles, which was resolved a day later. The lack of any recorded defects or advisories across four consecutive years is rare and indicates a proactive approach to maintenance. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions that would cause concern. A physical inspection should focus on standard consumables that the MOT may not flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record suggests these have been replaced as needed but provides no specific data on their current remaining life. Inspect the underbody for any surface corrosion, though the absence of structural advisories in the DVSA data suggests the chassis integrity remains sound.
