2015 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · DU65 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a notably clean inspection history over the last three years. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 86,043 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at 86,041 miles. This specific sequence likely represents a minor consumable-related failure that was rectified immediately before the retest, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems are currently fully compliant with DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the 2015 registration, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 17,588 miles, showing steady usage rather than long periods of stagnation or neglect. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest the vehicle sat idle long enough to dry out seals or cause corrosion. The recorded mileage of 86,043 miles is moderate for a Kia Sportage, suggesting the drivetrain and primary components remain within expected operational parameters. While the history shows no recurring adviserories or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this model and age. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and bushes for signs of cracking, as these often degrade after eleven years regardless of mileage. Given the recent retest in November 2025, verifying the brake pads and discs for even wear or thinning is advisable to ensure the previous failure was fully resolved and is not symptomatic of a developing binding caliper issue.
