2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · CY67 ADU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 85,954 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents the accumulation of minor mechanical issues that typically trigger test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,550 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 22,625 miles, showing a steady usage profile without signs of extreme strain or long periods of neglect. There are no significant gaps in the testing interval that suggest the vehicle sat stationary, and the mileage sits well within the expected range for this age class, which implies the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to undue stress from high-mileage commuting. While the digital record shows no recurring faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to wear at this mileage bracket. A buyer should check the suspension bushes and control arm bolts for signs of cracking, as well as the condition of the coil springs for corrosion. Given the clean history, verifying the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is advisable to ensure the mechanical state matches the documented paper trail. Checking the chassis for structural integrity remains of importance to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last official inspection.
