KIA SPORTAGE2015 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2015 KIA SPORTAGE is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-17 at 70,356 miles showing no defects. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive failures in 2023 and 2024 at similar mileages, both with no recorded defects. These failures suggest potential intermittent issues that were resolved, as the subsequent tests passed. The lack of specific defect details limits insight into the exact nature of the problems, but the recent pass indicates a stable maintenance trend. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 6,400 miles, aligning with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle. A notable jump from 53,701 miles in 2023 to 62,459 miles in 2024 reflects a 16% increase, which may correlate with heightened wear on components like tyres, suspension, and brakes. The 2025 test at 70,356 miles confirms the vehicle has remained within standard usage parameters, though higher mileage could accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical systems. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, focusing on bushes and coil springs, as well as brake components for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out corrosion or hidden damage. While the MOT records lack specific defect details, the history of failures without recorded issues implies potential unresolved minor faults that may require closer scrutiny during a physical check.
