2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · CF66 ACJ

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-08-06 at 96,372 miles, with no defects recorded. However, this test followed a failed MOT on the same date due to exposed tyre ply or cords, indicating a recent maintenance trend of worsening tyre condition. The overall roadworthiness status is compromised by this recent failure, despite the vehicle having passed several previous tests. The recorded mileage shows a pattern of steady accumulation, approximately 10,708 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, there are some notable gaps in the MOT history, with no tests recorded between 2022-01-10 and 2024-07-12, and again between 2024-07-11 and 2025-08-06. This sparse data makes it difficult to assess the vehicle's maintenance history in detail during these periods. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres closely, as the recent failure due to exposed tyre ply or cords suggests a lack of maintenance or neglect. The recurring faults with worn tyres, particularly on the front, indicate that basic upkeep was skipped. Additionally, the buyer should inspect the rear brakes, as they have been flagged for thin brake pads in the past. Furthermore, the electronic parking brake control and parking brake efficiency issues from 2024-07-11 should be investigated, as they may indicate a problem with the vehicle's braking system.
