2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DS67 EBA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 25 November 2025 at 46,331 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor defect was rectified quickly or a clerical error occurred rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The overall trend remains consistent, as the vehicle has successfully passed without recorded defects or advisories across the last two years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,148 miles per year. Data indicates a period of low use between October 2024 and November 2025, where the car covered only 5,563 miles in over thirteen months. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and potentially seized brake calipers. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the specific causes of the failures recorded in October 2024 and November 2025, as the provided data does not detail the exact mechanical reasons for these results. Given the low-mileage nature, it is vital to check for corrosion on the undercarriage and flat spots on the tyres which often occur when vehicles remain stationary. The lack of advisories in the passing records suggests the vehicle is currently in good condition, but a physical check of fluid levels and suspension integrity remains necessary.
