2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · K26 CAB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 March 2025 at 47,837 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,315 miles per year. Between 27 February 2023 and 14 March 2025, the odometer increased from 33,491 to 47,837 miles. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 7,000 miles per annum over the last two years, rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history shows two instances where the vehicle failed on the same day it passed, specifically on 27 February 2023 and 4 March 2024. Because no specific defects were listed for these failures, these likely represent administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately on site. There is no evidence of chronic faults regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that degrade with age regardless of low mileage. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion. Given the lack of reported advisories, the primary objective is to ensure that the low usage has not led to fluid degradation or battery health decline.
