2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · AW15 FDU

The vehicle passed the June 2025 MOT at 118,055 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable condition, though recurring tyre wear suggests ongoing neglect of basic upkeep. Mileage has risen from 25,427 miles in May 2018 to 118,055 miles by June 2025, averaging about 10,732 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old Sportage. Recurring rear‑tyre edge wear, intermittent wiper failures and a previous fog‑lamp defect point to areas that merit close scrutiny. A buyer should therefore examine rear suspension bushes, coil springs and binding rear brakes, inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion or seizure, verify the absence of structural rust on chassis rails and the rear subframe, check tyre tread depth and wear pattern, confirm wiper operation and windscreen clearance, and test the fog lamp and associated wiring.
