2015 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FH15 WMM

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 May 2025 at 60,167 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is notably low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,470 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing from 45,666 miles in May 2021 to 60,167 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or undocumented heavy use. Because the MOT record is devoid of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks, there are no specific red flags to prioritise. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to underuse. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and a check for any signs of brake binding. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension failures over the last five years suggests the vehicle has been kept in a favourable environment. A buyer should simply verify that the service intervals have been met regardless of the low mileage, as oil degradation occurs over time even when the car is not driven extensively.
