2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · CV17 FMD

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 82,313 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,146 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 38,257 miles in June 2021, 43,512 by March 2022, 52,992 in April 2023, 65,192 in April 2024, and 82,313 by May 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every test listing zero advisories or defects, which suggests the previous keepers addressed wear before each examination or the car simply required little intervention. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At 82,313 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry nine years of fatigue even without tester flags. Examine the subframe and sills for corrosion, as structural integrity is not annually photographed by the MOT and rust can develop between tests. Check the tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels for consumable condition, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The absence of recorded advisories implies competent upkeep, but only a ramp inspection will confirm the underside matches the paperwork.
