2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · YH67 ADV

The 2017 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which passed on 2025-10-14 at 67,786 miles with no defects recorded. The prior test on 2024-11-15 at 63,110 miles also passed, though a failed test on 2024-11-14 at 63,109 miles—just one mile earlier—suggests a potential administrative error or transient issue. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three tests indicates consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage patterns, with no signs of accelerated wear or systemic degradation. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, averaging 7,532 miles annually over nine years. The 2023-12-11 test at 52,884 miles and 2022-12-08 test at 42,585 miles reveal a 10,299-mile jump, consistent with annual usage. The 2024-11-14 failure occurred during a period of 10,525 miles covered between 2023 and 2024, which is within normal parameters. No irregularities in mileage accumulation suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to prolonged inactivity or excessive short-distance driving. The lack of defects in the last three tests reinforces that the owner has addressed issues promptly, maintaining compliance. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the vehicle’s age, as bushings and coil springs may show wear. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, though no such issues were flagged. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, so a thorough underbody check for rust or panel damage is advisable. The absence of advisories on tyres, wipers, or emissions suggests routine upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm these elements, as they are critical to long-term reliability.
