2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · EY67 FMC

The 2017 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-11 at 66,969 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-05-31 (63,251 miles), 2023-08-31 (58,105 miles), and 2022-08-31 (45,162 miles) also passed, though a duplicate entry for 2023-08-31 at 58,095 miles shows a failed result with no defects noted, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical issues in the last four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,441 miles annually over nine years. A notable gap exists between the 2022-08-31 test (45,162 miles) and the subsequent 2023-08-31 test (58,105 miles), covering 12,943 miles in 12 months. This rapid accumulation could indicate increased usage or a period of frequent driving, which may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. However, no such issues were flagged in the MOT records, suggesting the vehicle has managed this workload without major faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in the records is reassuring, but visual checks for rust on the chassis or body panels remain critical. Additionally, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and brake discs—common wear points in older vehicles—would provide further assurance, as these elements can deteriorate between tests without triggering immediate failures.
