2015 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · YB15 CVT

The 2015 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 71,480 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 7 March 2025 at 65,001 miles and 28 November 2023 at 57,120 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the available record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,500 miles, typical for an eleven-year-old car. The gap between the November 2023 test at 57,120 miles and the March 2025 test at 65,001 miles covers about 6,900 miles over sixteen months, consistent with light private use. A duplicate entry on 19 November 2024 shows both a fail and a pass at 63,905 miles with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. The clean record suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. With no advisories or defects logged, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age. Verify the brake discs and calipers are free from binding, and confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust condition match the clean test outcomes. The sparse, defect-free record implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Low annual use may mean longer periods standing, so check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres not captured by the MOT.
