2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · LA66 HTZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 60,297 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test two days prior on 27 September 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly, as the mileage remained identical at 60,297 miles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. It has covered roughly 6,700 miles per year on average. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer rose from 45,544 to 58,079 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any mechanical failures or advisories, indicating the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load well. The absence of any advisories across the last three years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No mentions of brake disc corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or tyre tread depth issues appear in the records. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook minor rust that does not compromise structural integrity. Checking the service history for oil change intervals is recommended to ensure the engine has been maintained alongside the chassis, given that the MOT record alone does not confirm internal mechanical health.
