2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · CF17 HPX

This Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pattern of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 30 January 2026 at 105,710 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result in February 2025, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 10,831 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 5,400 miles by February 2025. The most recent interval shows a slight increase in usage, with 8,032 miles added between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady increase indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brake calipers from seizing. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of common wear items. Focus on the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the absolute legal limit. Given the mileage, a physical inspection should prioritize the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. Check the underside for any surface corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system, as these structural elements are not always detailed in a pass certificate unless they pose an immediate safety risk. The lack of recorded faults suggests a diligent previous owner, but a manual check of the service history will confirm if this cleanliness extends to oil changes and filter replacements.
