2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · JC03 GEL

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 76,123 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 May 2024 at 73,844 miles confirms no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 76,123 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,920 miles per year and reflecting typical private-use accumulation. The records show a tight cluster of entries in spring 2022 through spring 2025 with no large gaps or sudden jumps; the only anomaly is the failed test on 24 April 2024 at 73,839 miles, retested and passed seven days later at 73,844 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than deferred consumable neglect. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five recorded tests, the vehicle shows no recurring fault pattern requiring caution. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables outside MOT scope, and confirm the 2024 failure cause with the prior owner to rule out any unresolved calibration or documentation issue.
