2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DB64 TON

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 74,461 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive passes since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any test stage. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 37,695 miles at the 25 February 2022 test, rising to 47,762 by 22 February 2023, 58,164 by 23 February 2024, 67,124 by 25 February 2025, and 74,461 by 23 February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps. The sparse but consistent history gives no evidence of neglected intervals or abrupt high-use periods. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. The MOT captures only test-day condition and does not assess wear margins on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, or underbody corrosion outside the tested scope. Five passes with zero advisories suggest prior owners kept basic statutory upkeep current, yet silent records can mask gradual consumable degradation not yet at failure threshold. Focus the viewing on structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for trapped moisture rust, and confirm tyre tread depth, wiper function, and brake balance match the clean paperwork. The Kia's annual spread implies mixed motorway and local use, so check drivetrain mounts and steering joints for fatigue. The documented history supports a sound purchase assumption, but physical verification remains prudent on any used chassis nearing 75,000 miles.
