2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · MF65 VDM

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 98,388 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. The prior day, 3 December 2025 at the same mileage, the vehicle failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from January 2023 to December 2025, every completed test passed clean. Mileage accumulation sits within typical bounds for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 69,712 miles in the 24 January 2023 test, rose to 82,817 by 17 January 2024, then 93,188 on 29 November 2024, and 98,388 at the close of 2025. That equates to roughly 8,900 miles per year, showing steady private-use patterns with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes. The sparse, defect-free ledger implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any entry. The absence of flagged wear across 28,676 miles of recorded testing suggests structural integrity and mechanical components have aged without intervention demands. A clean sheet over five tests points to reasonable upkeep rather than deferred faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension arm condition, and brake caliper operation given the car's age. The December 2025 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA portal show matching status. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition visually, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until severely worn.
