2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AF17 XDN

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 58,251 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the first entry in 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet statutory standards across its recorded life. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,472 miles per year against the car's nine-year age. The records show steady, low accumulation: 15,372 miles at the 8 October 2021 test, rising to 25,836 by 7 October 2022, 38,117 on 13 October 2023, 50,943 on 11 October 2024, and 58,251 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps exist between tests, and the consistent yearly cadence suggests a single disciplined owner or a lightly used private vehicle kept to schedule. Given the absence of any flagged defects, the buyer faces no recorded structural, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns from the MOT archive. The clean sheet means no recurring wear patterns such as corroded subframes, worn coil springs, or binding calipers have been noted by testers. This points to a vehicle that has received at least minimum compliant upkeep throughout its service life. In person, the buyer should still verify items the MOT does not deeply assess: inspect brake disc thickness and pad depth, check suspension bushes for age-related perishing, and examine underside structure for corrosion not yet at test threshold. Confirm the 11-month-old test certificate still reflects true condition, as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels fall outside the static record and need a current visual check.
