KIA SPORTAGE2015 · 1.7L Diesel

The 2015 KIA SPORTAGE passed its most recent MOT on 2025-04-11 at 107,126 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-04-10 at the same mileage resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or retests without underlying issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults, with all prior MOTs—2024-04-12 (92,589 miles), 2023-03-07 (78,864 miles)—also recording no defects. Overall, the roadworthiness trend appears stable, with no escalating concerns identified in the recorded data. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,126 miles over 11 years aligns with an average of 9,739 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The MOT records show annual testing intervals, with consistent mileage increases between tests: 78,864 to 92,589 miles (13,725 miles) and 92,589 to 107,126 miles (14,537 miles). No rapid accumulation or extended gaps in service are evident, reducing immediate risks to consumables or major components. The absence of defects in all tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though this does not preclude hidden wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, warrants scrutiny, as corrosion can develop in UK conditions. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
