KIA SPORTAGE2017 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has improved following periods of intermittent failure. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 64,311 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in October 2024 at 51,458 miles, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed and rectified to meet safety standards. The' pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,146 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 16,000 miles between the August 2023 test at 35,640 miles and the October 2024 test at 51,458 miles, suggesting a period of more intensive use. However, the low annual mileage generally mitigates the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sat for extended periods. While the current record is clean, the historical failures in August 2023 and September 2024 suggest that specific components require close monitoring during service intervals. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and braking system, as these are common areas where defects manifest before failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and verifying the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure the current clean record is maintained through consistent upkeep.
