2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · PX65 LTK

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 81,396 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eleven year old vehicle. Between 14 September 2022 and 11 September 2025, the odometer rose from 59,333 to 81,396 miles, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or periods of prolonged inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The record shows a failure on 18 September 2024 at 74,048 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day. While the specific reason for this failure is not detailed in the provided data, the immediate resolution indicates the owner addressed the issue promptly. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a well-preserved chassis. A physical inspection should focus on standard age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the September 2025 test. Inspect the underside for any surface rust on the subframe, as this is a common point of failure for this model despite a clean testing history.
