KIA SPORTAGE2015 · 1.7L DIESEL

The 2015 Kia Sportage demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 at 68,908 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior test in 2024-10-07 at 67,797 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions violations, or brake system failures were noted in the last two years, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. However, the 2023-09-25 test revealed rear tyres worn close to legal limits, indicating potential alignment or suspension wear that may require further inspection. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,264 miles annually since 2015. The 2021-09-28 test at 37,341 miles showed no defects, followed by a 2022-10-08 test at 48,753 miles with similar results. A notable gap between 2022 and 2023 saw mileage rise by 8,778 miles, but no significant wear was flagged until the 2023 tyre issues. The 2024 and 2025 tests confirm no recurring problems, though the lack of data between 2021 and 2022 could hint at periods of inactivity or minimal use. A buyer should prioritise checking the rear suspension and alignment to address the 2023 tyre wear, as uneven tread could signal bushing deterioration or misalignment. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as rear tyre issues sometimes correlate with braking system imbalances. While no structural rust or exhaust leaks were recorded, a thorough underbody check is advisable to confirm no hidden corrosion. The vehicle’s MOT history suggests responsible ownership, but the 2023 tyre defect warrants a pre-purchase inspection to rule out underlying mechanical faults.
