2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · FM15 THF

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 46,671 miles resulted in a pass despite a minor failure regarding a nearside repeater light, which represents a simple electrical defect rather than a mechanical or structural failure. The clean records from 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle was operating in a good condition without any noted defects during those inspection periods. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 46,671 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 4,243 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,000 to 5,500 miles driven between each annual MOT test. This low mileage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or dry seals if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between these tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system during a physical evaluation, as the 2022 test at 30,585 miles flagged thin front brake pads. While this is a standard consumable item, it indicates the pads reached the end of their life despite the low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, it is also vital to check the suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion on the chassis, as these components can perish due to time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the body has remained sound to date.
