2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AE65 ARE

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 61,322 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,575 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the recorded period, growing from 35,576 miles in December 2021 to 61,322 miles by December 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or undisclosed heavy use. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions suggests the previous owner adhered to a strict maintenance schedule. No structural corrosion or steering play has been noted by testers over the last five years. A buyer should still perform a physical check for perishable components that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits. Focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls and the age of the battery, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber degradation or battery sulfation. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine seals that may not have triggered a failure but could indicate long-term wear.
