2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AV65 ABX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 43,707 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for an eleven year old car, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady but light increase in usage, growing from 26,749 miles in October 2021 to 43,707 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious regressions, suggesting the odometer is accurate and the car has likely seen light urban use or served as a secondary vehicle. While the lack of MOT advisories is positive, the low mileage and age introduce specific risks. Vehicles that spend long periods standing often suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, even if the tread remains legal. A buyer should check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface rusting and seized sliders. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust leaks in the DVSA data is promising. However, a physical inspection should still focus on the underbody to ensure that lack of use has not masked slow-developing rust in the chassis. Checking the fluid condition and service intervals is essential, as oil degradation occurs over time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
