2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · FX65 ANV

The vehicle is currently recorded as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 September 2022 at 99,793 miles, with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to have stabilised after earlier failures, as the 2022 pass follows the tyre‑related failures of September 2021 and the prop‑shaft boot failure of September 2019. Mileage has risen from 62,158 miles in September 2018 to 99,793 miles in September 2022, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt mileage jumps are evident; the increase is steady across the recorded intervals. The absence of any MOT entries after 2022 creates a four‑year data gap that warrants attention. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear tyres have been replaced, given the cuts that caused the 2021 failure; visual inspection for tread depth and sidewall integrity is essential. The CV boot on the off‑side front inner prop shaft should be examined for signs of dirt ingress or cracking, as the 2019 failure indicates a potential weakness. Suspension components, including bushings and coil springs, merit close scrutiny for wear or corrosion, especially since no advisory notes appear in the later tests. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear, as no brake‑related advisories have been recorded, but the age and mileage suggest routine replacement may be due. Finally, a thorough assessment of under‑body rust and structural integrity will confirm whether the vehicle has been maintained beyond the documented MOT scope.
