2015 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DC65 DWW

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 67,319 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from January 2023 through February 2025 also passed clean. The lone failure on 17 January 2023 at 43,934 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Across the visible history the vehicle shows no escalating advisories, corrosion flags, or worn-component trends. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,120 miles against an eleven-year lifespan, a typical figure for the age. The records step cleanly from 43,934 miles in January 2023 to 52,511 in January 2024, 60,451 in February 2025, and 67,319 in February 2026, an even ~7,800 to 8,900 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. Such a consistent low-to-moderate pattern suggests gentle use and no evidence that the previous owners deferred long intervals between tests. The clean sheet across every passing test means no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, exhaust emission, or structural integrity issues appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, coil springs, and flexible brake hoses given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes at low mileage can mask slow moisture-driven degradation not yet at test threshold. The unexplained failure entry from 17 January 2023 warrants a glance at the original DVSA certificate to confirm it was procedural. Otherwise the Sportage's history implies conscientious, low-stress ownership with no skipped tests and no deferred consumable neglect visible in the official record.
