2015 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · KD15 WPR

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-27 resulted in a failure due to critical issues with the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and rear brake discs. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was likely to become detached , a serious safety risk, while the nearside front joint’s dust cover failed to prevent dirt ingress. The rear brake disc was also worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This contrasts with an earlier pass on the same date, which may indicate an error or conflicting assessments. Recurring issues involve the anti-roll bar linkage system and brake discs . Since 2025, the offside front anti-roll bar joint has shown progressive problems: slight play in 2025, followed by a likely detachment risk in 2026. Brake disc wear has also been noted in 2025 and 2026, though not yet critical. These patterns suggest deterioration in suspension components and ongoing brake disc degradation , which could indicate aging or excessive stress on these parts. The trend shows worsening conditions . Early issues like slight play in 2025 escalated to a risk of joint detachment by 2026.
