2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · GY17 KCZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of successful MOT testing. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 76,642 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was noted in September 2024, the immediate subsequent pass on the same day suggests that the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly rather than allowing mechanical or safety issues to persist. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 47,977 miles and the September 2025 test at 76,642 miles, the car covered roughly 28,600 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns. This steady rate suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to brake corrosion or fuel degradation, nor has it been subjected to high-mileage stress that would accelerate the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the clean records in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the Sportage of this era. Examine the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for any cracking, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive pitting, and check the underbody for any signs of structural corrosion on the exhaust or rear mounting points, despite the MOT history not flagging any structural failures to date.
