2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FP17 YMS

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 78,681 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four prior annual tests also passed clean. No advisories or recurring faults appear across the history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage sits at 78,681 against a nine-year lifespan, an average of roughly 8,742 miles per year and typical for the age. The record shows steady accumulation: 55,191 miles on 5 July 2022, 64,267 on 22 June 2023, 72,165 on 11 October 2024, and 78,681 on 12 November 2025. A minor gap exists between the July 2022 and June 2023 tests, but the spread suggests normal private use with no standing periods or sudden high-load driving. The 5 July 2022 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, a likely administrative duplication rather than a mechanical rejection. Given the clean sheet across all tests, previous owners clearly met statutory maintenance without neglecting consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes confirm minimum legal condition only. Verify service history matches the 6,500-mile annual increments and check tyre age, given the record logs no advisories on wear items.
