2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DA65 ABN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 1 May 2025 at 57,007 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the four previous tests dating back to September 2021, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is remarkably low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,182 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2021 test at 40,399 miles and the May 2025 test at 57,007 miles shows a steady, low-intensity usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no specific mechanical trends to worry about. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth over a five year period is unusual for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, battery degradation, or brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underside and verify that the tyres have not perished or developed flat spots from long periods of standing.
