2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AD07 ACD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on its documented MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 104,135 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they resulted in test failures, as evidenced by the clean sheets across the last five inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,500 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in usage between October 2021 (61,974 miles) and September 2022 (86,867 miles), where the car covered over 24,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has moderated since, with 14,616 miles recorded between August 2024 and July 2025. This suggests a period of heavy use followed by a return to more standard driving habits. While the MOT record shows no significant structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components common to the Sportage. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the clean history, the buyer should also closely inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these consumable components unless they pose a safety risk.
