2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · AF15 PXD

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 73,924 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2024 at 67,479 miles and November 2023 at 59,968 miles also passed clean, showing no escalating wear or recurring advisories across the recorded history. The odometer shows 73,924 miles against an eleven-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,720 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age and implies light to moderate use. Mileage moved from 58,570 in April 2023 to 59,968 by November 2023, then to 67,479 in November 2024 and 73,924 by October 2025, reflecting steady annual accumulation of around 6,000 to 7,000 miles with no sudden spikes or dormant gaps. The DVSA record is sparse but clean, carrying no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not certify absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs in the history, yet aged rubber suspension components and degraded exhaust hangers commonly escape detection between annual tests. Verify the October 2025 failure cause with the issuing centre, since a no-defect rejection often stems from documentation or lighting faults rather than roadworthiness, but warrants confirmation before purchase.
