2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · GL64 OPW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on October 29, 2025 at 108,176 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they reached a failure point, maintaining a clean record across the last five annual tests. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old Sportage, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between November 2021 at 72,609 miles and October 2025 at 108,176 miles, the vehicle covered 35,567 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy strain. This regularity suggests that the drivetrain and cooling components have operated within normal thermal cycles, reducing the likelihood of premature seal failure or fluid degradation often associated with low-use vehicles. While the digital record is devoid of flagged advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this age and mileage bracket. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue after 100,000 miles. Given the clean history, the brake calipers should be checked for binding and the structural integrity of the subframe examined to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that fell outside the scope of a standard MOT inspection.
