2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · FN67 RCZ

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 1 September 2025 at 120,211 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories across the last five consecutive annual tests indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. This unbroken record of passing without issue demonstrates diligent upkeep, with no emerging or recurring mechanical faults to suggest neglect. Accumulating 120,211 miles over nine years equates to an average of roughly 13,357 miles annually, a figure notably higher than the typical UK average. The mileage progression reveals consistent, heavy usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the September 2021 test at 88,171 miles and the September 2025 test at 120,211 miles, the odometer advanced by 32,040 miles across four years, averaging 8,010 miles annually. The increments between tests remain remarkably steady, showing no sudden spikes or anomalous gaps in usage that might indicate a period of disuse or a recent engine replacement. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection of wear-prone components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as 120,000 miles of regular use often manifests in deteriorated damping and cracked rubber before it triggers an MOT failure. Brake disc thickness and pad life require verification, alongside a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion or blowing joints. Inspecting the undercarriage for structural rust is equally critical, given the vehicle's age and mileage, as surface corrosion can escalate rapidly on subframes and suspension mounting points. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should be assessed, as high-mileage vehicles frequently exhibit uneven wear from neglected tracking or aging rubber.
