2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · D5 XKY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 February 2025 at 121,887 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just eight miles earlier that same day. This initial failure likely represented an administrative error or a minor sensor trip that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across the previous three testing cycles. The mileage reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for an eleven-year-old vehicle. There is a notable period of activity between September 2022 and March 2023, where the car covered roughly 1,000 miles in just six months, followed by a steady accumulation of 16,832 miles between March 2023 and February 2024. This regularity suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing seals from drying or components from seizing due to long periods of standing. While the MOT history is devoid of advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear common to Mercedes-Benz models of this era. At over 121,000 miles, the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs should be checked for rubber degradation or stress fractures. Since the record does not flag previous binding calipers or exhaust corrosion, a manual check of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is necessary to ensure the clean history matches the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
