2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DA65 ABV

The 2015 Kia Sportage demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-26 inspection at 78,009 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent passing results, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged, and the vehicle’s mechanical integrity appears uncompromised. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained within standard parameters for its age and mileage. The vehicle’s mileage progression aligns with typical usage, accumulating approximately 7,000 miles annually. The 2022-11-09 test at 56,588 miles marks a slightly longer interval before the next inspection, but subsequent tests followed annual cycles. The 2023-03-29 test at 58,654 miles and the 2024-03-22 test at 65,876 miles reveal steady, predictable wear without abrupt spikes. This pattern suggests regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. The MOT history lacks gaps or anomalies, reinforcing a clean maintenance record. A buyer should conduct a visual inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, to confirm no hidden wear despite the absence of recorded issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop over time without immediate MOT failures. The exhaust system and body panels should also be scrutinized for rust, as corrosion in hidden areas may not surface in standard tests. While the MOT data shows no red flags, these checks will validate the vehicle’s continued reliability.
