2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · GF67 HSL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 December 2025 at 50,989 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have consistently met DVSA standards without recurring failures or developing issues flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,665 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 30,316 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of roughly 7,500 miles annually. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system compared to high-mileage examples. However, the low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and tyre compounds, if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas affected by low-mileage use and environmental factors. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting caused by age rather than tread. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently. Additionally, examine the chassis for early signs of rust on the sills and suspension mounts, ensuring the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of recorded failures in the official history.
