2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · YX18 YFO

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend according to the most recent MOT records. The test on 11 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 16 April 2024. This sequence follows a failure on 07 March 2023, though the specific nature of that failure was not documented in the provided summary. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that immediate mechanical concerns were not present at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 48,820 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,102 miles per year. The MOT history shows regular annual testing between March 2022 and April 2025, indicating consistent compliance with testing requirements. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest long periods of non-use or irregular roadworthiness monitoring. Because the recent records show no advisories for components such as brake pads, discs, tyres, or suspension bushes, the history does not highlight any specific recurring mechanical weaknesses. A physical inspection should still focus on checking for signs of uneven tyre wear or corrosion on the underside, as the MOT record does not provide details on the condition of consumables between test intervals. The buyer should verify the actual condition of the braking system and suspension components to ensure no minor issues were overlooked or have developed since the April 2025 test.
