2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · PK65 AAJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 103,815 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved passes following immediate rectifications of failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2026, the subsequent passes indicate that the previous owner addressed identified defects promptly to maintain legal road use standards. At 103,815 miles over eleven years, this Kia Sportage has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family SUV. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,600 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature brake seizing and internal fluid degradation. The lack of specific defect descriptions in the provided failure records makes it difficult to pinpoint exact mechanical components that required attention, but a buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the age and mileage, check for perished shock absorbers and worn control arm bushes, which are common points of failure on this model. You should also inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points, as these areas are prone to integrity issues as these vehicles approach the twelve-year mark.
