2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · GL17 ACU

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend, remaining stable across five consecutive years of testing. The most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 59,952 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This pattern of zero failures and zero advisories since April 2021 suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a nine year old car. Between the April 2021 test at 32,831 miles and the May 2025 test at 59,952 miles, the vehicle covered 27,121 miles. The annual distance has remained steady, with the most recent interval from May 2024 to May 2025 showing an increase of 6,147 miles. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or commercial misuse. Because the MOT record is entirely devoid of advisories, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. The absence of mentions regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth over five years is rare and indicates a meticulous previous owner. The lack of structural corrosion notes suggests the chassis remains sound. A physical inspection should still focus on basic consumables that may not have triggered an MOT failure but are due for replacement based on age. Check the condition of the brake fluid and engine oil for contamination. Verify the tyre brands and date codes to ensure they have not perished despite having legal tread. Inspect the battery health and air conditioning performance, as these service items are not primary focuses of the MOT test.
