2017 KIA SPORTAGE1.7L Diesel

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 60,777 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every annual examination since 2021. Mileage accumulation has been consistent and modest for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,876 miles at the 21 September 2021 test, rising to 40,448 by 20 September 2022, 48,775 by 15 September 2023, 55,543 by 6 September 2024, and 60,777 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,700 to 6,200 miles added each year, below the typical national average, suggesting light use with no sudden accumulation or unexplained gaps between tests. The DVSA history flags no advisories or failures at any point, so no recurring mechanical faults, corrosion issues, or worn consumables are documented. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring known defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. Low annual mileage can mask degraded rubber components such as suspension bushes and perished hoses, while standing periods encourage underbody corrosion not visible during a pass-only MOT. Verify brake disc condition, tyre sidewall ageing, and structural integrity beneath sills and arches before purchase.
