2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · MD15 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 13 March 2026 at 84,811 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal and safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical condition has been maintained effectively by the recent owners.. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 59,899 miles and March 2026 at 84,811 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 25,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. A brief failure occurred on 20 March 2024 at 67,775 miles, but the vehicle passed the re-test the very following day. This rapid rectification suggests a minor, consumable-related fault that was addressed immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. While the current record is clean of advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most likely to age on a Sportage of this era. Focus attention on the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of perished cracking, as rubber components often degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, checking for early-stage corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is also advisable to ensure structural integrity remains sound beyond the basic MOT test requirements.
