2015 KIA SPORTAGE1.6L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-09 assessment at 64,232 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-06-14 at 53,577 miles—shared with a subsequent passed test on the same date—raises ambiguity. While no defects were logged for either outcome, the duplication suggests potential administrative error or unresolved concerns. Overall, the trend shows no worsening issues, but the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm resolution. Mileage growth of 5,839 miles annually over 11 years reflects light usage, which typically reduces wear on components like tyres and brakes. The 2022-2023 period saw a 2,276-mile increase, followed by a 4,311-mile rise between 2023 and 2024, then a 4,068-mile jump to 64,232 by 2025. These intervals suggest regular but not frequent driving, aligning with low-mileage patterns. No gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in the record implies no systemic mechanical decline. A buyer should verify suspension integrity, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear, as low mileage can mask latent issues. The 2022 failure, though unexplained, underscores the need to check exhaust emissions and structural corrosion, which MOTs may not fully capture. Visual inspection of wheel arches, underbody, and brake components is critical to confirm the absence of hidden damage or neglect.
