2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AF67 BVN

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 67,103 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,456 miles per year against the 67,103 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 47,194 miles in June 2022, 49,691 by September 2022, then 55,131 in September 2023, 61,908 in September 2024, and 67,103 in September 2025. The only minor anomaly is the June 2022 test preceding the September 2022 test by three months, suggesting an early renewal rather than a gap; overall the progression is linear with no sudden jumps that would imply heavy commercial use or neglected standing periods. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT does not deeply assess. Examine brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or worn components can develop between annual tests. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and inspect underside structural integrity for corrosion given the vehicle's age. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, since these wear without necessarily triggering an MOT failure. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm no latent issues exist beyond the scope of the DVSA tests.
