2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · GL17 ADZ

The 2017 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 89,990 miles. The prior three tests from 2025 and 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2024-03-08 at 86,068 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting either a technical anomaly or a non-critical failure. The absence of recurring faults or advisories across multiple inspections implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no evident mechanical decline. The mileage of 89,990 miles aligns with an average of ~9,999 miles per year over nine years, reflecting typical usage for the model. A notable gap between the 2022-10-29 test (73,466 miles) and the 2024-03-08 test (86,068 miles) spans 1.5 years, during which the vehicle accumulated 12,602 miles. This rate exceeds the annual average but does not inherently signal excessive wear, as the MOT records show no associated defects. The sparse history between 2022 and 2024 limits insight into intermediate maintenance practices, though the lack of failures suggests no critical issues arose. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these components often degrade with mileage. The absence of corrosion reports or structural advisories is reassuring, but the 2024 failed test—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it relates to emissions, lighting, or other non-critical factors. Tyre condition and brake disc wear should also be verified, as these are common wear items. Overall, the MOT history indicates a mechanically sound vehicle, but physical checks are essential to validate the recorded compliance.
