2020 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YP20 AEC

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 6 June 2025 at 103,274 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements to ensure the vehicle meets DVSA standards without recurring failure points. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,200 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 test at 58,809 miles and the June 2025 test at 103,274 miles, the car covered over 44,000 miles in two years. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway ordistance use, which often results in less clutch-related wear but places significant stress on drivetrain components and suspension compared to lower-mileage city cars. While the digital record shows no flagged faults, the high-mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. A buyer should check for premature wear on coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushings, which frequently degrade around the 100,000-mile mark on heavier SUVs. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness beyond minimum safety limits. Given the mileage, verifying the engine for oil leaks around the turbocharger or manifold seals is also advisable to ensure the high-intensity use has not led to mechanical fatigue.
