2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · EA51 ARN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 February 2026 at 74,910 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. This trend suggests that the previous owners were proactive regarding vehicle upkeep, as the car has avoided any failures across the last five recorded inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 10,136 miles, followed by a slightly higher interval of 11,769 miles up to September 2024. The gap of 5,835 miles between the 2024 and early 2026 tests indicates regular, moderate use which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and the seizing of drivetrain components associated with long periods of stationary storage. While the digital record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components subject to age-related wear. At nearly 75,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often begin to degrade around this interval. Given the clean history, the brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or minor corrosion to ensure the stopping system remains as effective as indicated by the test tests.
