2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · EX15 ABO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passing its MOT tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 24 March 2025 at 129,317 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 11,756 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 107,404 to 129,317 miles. This represents a jump of nearly 22,000 miles in a single year, which is double the previous year's increase from 96,303 to 107,404 miles. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Typically, a Kia Sportage with 129,317 miles would show wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. The lack of recorded faults suggests either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a tester who has been lenient regarding consumable wear. A buyer should manually inspect the brake pads and discs for thinning and check the suspension components for play, as these are high-wear items that have not been flagged in the DVSA data. Checking for underbody corrosion is also advisable, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of structural integrity beyond the pass result.
