2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DC15 GFO

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a current pass recorded on 10 November 2025 at 56,630 miles. The most recent test cycle shows a fail and pass logged on the same date with no defects recorded, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Prior tests in November 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed with no advisories, so the maintenance record is clean across the visible four-year span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,148 miles per year against an eleven-year life, which is low for the age. The odometer moved from 32,194 miles in November 2022 to 38,782 in November 2023, then 46,676 in November 2024, and 56,630 by November 2025. That is a steady climb of about 8,000 to 10,000 miles each year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. Low overall use implies lighter loading on drivetrain and suspension parts, though prolonged idle periods remain possible and were not flagged. No tester ever recorded corrosion, worn suspension bushes, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches on this vehicle. The absence of advisories across five consecutive tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables within limits. A buyer should still confirm in person that tyres, wiper blades, and underbody structure match the paper record, as MOT snapshots miss intermittent faults. Given the clean history and low mileage, the Sportage shows no recorded mechanical or structural red flags. A pre-purchase check should focus on proof of regular servicing and a visual inspection of coil springs and brake calipers, since these items wear silently between annual tests.
