2006 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · FG56 AYO

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 19 February 2022 at 155,715 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend stable but unverified beyond that date given the four-year gap to today. The vehicle then showed roadworthy status, though the earlier failure on 15 February 2022 at 155,693 miles listed no defects, a pattern that typically signals administrative or paperwork issues rather than mechanical fault at the test centre. Recorded mileage sits at 155,715 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 7,786 miles per year and matching typical use for a twenty-year-old SUV. The jump between tests is minimal: only 22 miles separate the failed and passed February 2022 entries. The sparse history offers little wear data, but the low annual figure suggests light touring rather than harsh commercial duty, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps evident in the supplied record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the test record proves nothing beyond early 2022. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, yet at 155,715 miles and twenty years old these consumables demand physical checks for fatigue and fluid leaks. Given the absence of defects across both February 2022 tests, prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, but the stale MOT status relative to 8 July 2026 means the car may now require a fresh test and a full mechanical appraisal before any purchase.
