2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · SA17 AAW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 18 August 2025. The absence of any advisories or defects in the last three consecutive annual tests suggests a consistent approach to upkeep. While the vehicle failed its MOT on 18 August 2023 at 54,326 miles, it passed immediately upon retest, indicating that the identified fault was rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 74,740 miles, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 40,557 miles in July 2022 to 74,740 miles in August 2025. This linear growth suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or general transit rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and fluid contamination. Since the recent MOT history shows no recurring issues with brakes, suspension, or emissions, the mechanical record is exceptionally clean. However, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and exhaust system, as these areas are prone to wear as mileage climbs toward the 80,000 mark. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advised to ensure the smooth driving characteristics reflected in the clean MOT history remain intact.
