KIA SPORTAGE2017 · 1.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 November 2025 at 47,618 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard and avoids the common mechanical or structural failures that typically surface during annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Between October 2021 test at 23,043 miles and the November 2025 test at 47,618 miles, the car covered 24,575 miles. This consistent low-intensity usage suggests minimal strain on the drivetrain components and engine. The lack of any sudden spikes in mileage accumulation indicates a predictable usage pattern, which generally reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear and tear associated with high-frequency commuting. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for signs of dry rubber degradation, such as perished suspension bushes or tyre sidewalls, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting since infrequent use can sometimes lead to oxidation on the braking surfaces. The structural integrity currently shows no evidence of rust-related weaknesses, suggesting the vehicle remains mechanically sound for its age.
