2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line ISG 1.6L Petrol · YR72 NBG

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-17 MOT at 11,743 miles. The prior 2025-03-18 test at 10,184 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. No advisories or failures indicate the car has been well-maintained, with no signs of emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage history reveals a low annual average of 2,936 miles, significantly below typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle. The 1,559-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 MOTs suggests minimal recent use, which could signal prolonged inactivity or restricted driving. This pattern may warrant scrutiny of components prone to degradation during periods of low usage, such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust emissions systems. A physical inspection should prioritise checking for corrosion in underbody panels, wheel arches, and sills, as low mileage can mask rust development. Suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, should be assessed for stiffness or dryness. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness, while the exhaust system’s integrity must be verified, as infrequent use may lead to internal corrosion. No major faults were flagged in the MOT records, but the vehicle’s usage history necessitates thorough scrutiny of these areas.
