2020 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · YS20 FVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive consumable care. The most recent MOT test on 30 August 2025 at 51,485 miles resulted in an initial failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers and multiple tyre defects. While the vehicle passed on the same day after remedial work, the failure indicates that the previous owner neglected basic wear items until they reached legal limits rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Data shows steady progression from 31,302 miles in September 2022 to 38,684 miles in September 2023, followed by 45,179 miles in August 2024. The interval of 6,306 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests regular use, which is generally better for mechanical components like seals and brake components compared to a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyre condition and alignment, as the 2025 failure flagged uneven wear and cracking on three out of four tyres. This pattern of wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require checking. Additionally, verify that the replacement wiper blades and arms are sound, as the previous failure suggests these were previously overlooked. Since no structural corrosion or brake-related defects appear in the history, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears stable, but the focus must remain on the immediate state of the rubber and fluid components.
