2015 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · MH15 AEV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 27 March 2024 at 93,147 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and environmental standards at that time. While there was a recorded failure in April 2023, the subsequent pass suggests that the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a 2015 registration. With 93,147 miles recorded over 11 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year. The specific interval between the March 2022 test at 70,292 miles and the March 2024 test at 93,147 miles shows the car covered roughly 23,000 miles, representing a steady rate of about 11,000 miles annually during that period. This suggests regular use use, which often helps prevent the component degradation associated with long periods of stationary storage. Despite the recent clean-record status, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear at this mileage threshold. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to check for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. The MOT history does not list recurring brake or structural issues, but inspecting the undercarriage for developing corrosion or thinning of brake discs remains advisable. Since the last test was over two years ago, verifying the current condition of the tyres and brake fluid is essential to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the last official check.
