2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AF17 MJE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of reactive maintenance regarding consumable components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 95,610 miles flagged thin rear brake pads, continuing a pattern of迫-related advisories seen in previous years. While the vehicle passes its inspections, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that components are only addressed when they approach failure limits rather than following a preventative replacement schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression from 72,239 miles in early 2024 to 84,849 miles in early 2025, and reaching 95,610 miles by February 2026. This regular usage indicates the car has not sat for long periods, which typically correlates with the wear seen on suspension and braking hardware noted in the higher mileage bracket. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and artwork alignment. The history notes pitted front discs and thin pads at 61,802 miles, followed by worn front tyres at 72,239 miles and a worn nearside rear tyre at 84,849 miles. This specific sequence of uneven tyre wear suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified. Additionally, the buyer should verify the tyre pressure monitoring system is functional, as it failed the test in early 2023.
