2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · AV67 FME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 July 2025 at 88,760 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been successfully addressed. This follows a clean result in 2024, suggesting the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady usage pattern, with 12,170 miles covered between the August 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 11,674 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular use is generally beneficial for mechanical components as opposed to long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent seals from drying out and brake components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and geometry given the history of uneven tyre wear. The August 2021 test at 43,424 miles flagged both front tyres as being near the legal limit and worn on the edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the July 2023 advisory for a cracked offside rear tyre was a minor consumable fault, the recurring nature of tyre-related notes suggests a need to check for continued uneven wear or play in the front arm bushings. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring brake failures in the record to warrant immediate concern.
