KIA SPORTAGE2015 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 September 2025 at 56,160 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a string of clean passes over the previous three years. This indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting all statutory safety and emissions standards and that components inspected by the tester are operating without immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of use, such as the 8,379 miles driven between September 2024 and September 2025, and the 6,393 miles recorded in the preceding year. This low annual mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, the single failure on 30 August 2022 at 37,788 miles suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately before the successful pass. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from dry seals, perished rubber components, and seized brake calipers despite low odometer readings. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check the tyre sidewalls for age cracking. Given the age of the Sport, verifying the chassis for early-stage corrosion is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the low mileage recorded.
