2015 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · KR64 AEC

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 12 February 2026 at 88,469 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing consecutive annual passes from February 2024 through February 2026 and no advisories on suspension, brakes, or structural integrity. The only irregularity appears on 16 February 2023, where the record lists both a pass and a fail at 62,338 miles, each with no defects noted; this suggests a clerical or procedural duplication rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 62,338 miles in February 2023 to 73,536 miles in February 2024, then 79,822 miles in February 2025, and 88,469 miles in February 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 11,000 miles per year, consistent with the approximate 8,043 miles per annum average. No abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation emerge; the sparse but clean record spans three years of tested passes plus the anomalous 2023 entry, indicating the previous keeper maintained scheduled testing without lapse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components despite the absent advisories. The tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, yet rubber components and dampers degrade with time. Examine brake discs for lip and corrosion, assess exhaust emissions under cold start, and check chassis legs and sills for structural rust. The clean MOT trail implies diligent basic upkeep, but it does not substitute for hands-on verification of consumable wear at 88,469 miles.
