2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DA67 GGU

The 2017 Kia Sportage shows a stable maintenance trend with a single recorded MOT pass. The most recent and only entry, dated 18 October 2021 at 40,709 miles, returned a clean result with no defects recorded. This indicates the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time, though no subsequent tests appear in the supplied history. The recorded mileage of 40,709 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 4,523 miles per year across its first four years, which is low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The single MOT entry creates a near five-year gap to the current date of 8 July 2026, leaving the present mechanical condition unverified by official testing. Low mileage combined with a sparse record suggests either light use or extended periods of standing, either of which can mask aged rubber components and fluid degradation not captured in a pass result. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase. With no advisories logged on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion at the 2021 test, the structural and mechanical baseline was sound. However, standing time since that date risks perishing tyres, seized calipers, and subframe rust that a lapsed test cycle will not reveal. Given the clean 2021 outcome and low annual mileage, prior upkeep appears adequate rather than neglected. The absence of recurring faults prevents identification of worsening trends, but the expired test status means current roadworthiness rests entirely on unrecorded condition.
