2015 KIA Sportage 2 ISG 1.6L Petrol · ET15 BFP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 December 2025 at 88,260 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, maintaining a streak of clean tests over the last three years. While a single failure occurred in August 2023, the issue was rectified immediately within three days, suggesting that the previous owner was responsive to mechanical compliance requirements and maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 73,604 miles and the December 2024 test at 84,355 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles, indicating steady but moderate usage. The recent accumulation of 3,900 miles over the last year follows this trend, which typically limits the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commuting, though it does not rule out age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid systems. Given the lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the latest records, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of common Kia Sportage wear points. At 88,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or cracking, as these often do not trigger an MOT failure until failure occurs. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as the record does not explicitly flag structural integrity issues. While the electronic record is clean, verifying the brake calipers for binding and checking disc thickness will ensure the clean MOT history translates to real-world performance.
