2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · CT17 BNF

The most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 132,156 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable over the past three years. The mileage profile shows a rapid accumulation: from 97,486 miles in July 2022 to 132,156 miles by August 2025, averaging 14,684 miles per year, which is well above the typical 10,000‑mile annual figure for a 2017 model. The interval between the 2022 test and the 2023 test was only one year, during which the odometer rose from 97,486 to 111,330 miles, and the subsequent annual increases of roughly 9,000 to 12,000 miles suggest continuous high‑usage driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the components most susceptible to wear at this mileage and age, specifically inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, checking brake discs and calipers for scoring, binding or uneven wear, and examining the chassis and underbody for rust that could compromise structural integrity. While the MOT history records no defects, the high annual mileage warrants a close look at tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the state of the exhaust system, as these consumables often reflect the vehicle’s overall care regime.
