2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · LC17 LCX

The most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 recorded a pass at 74,074 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness standards at that date. The preceding five‑year record shows uninterrupted passes, suggesting a stable maintenance trend with no evident deterioration in the core systems examined by the tester. Mileage has risen from 58,568 miles in October 2022 to 74,074 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 5,200 miles per year over the last three years. For a 2017 model this aligns with typical usage and does not reveal any abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The absence of recorded defects across all tests reinforces the impression of a relatively even wear pattern. Although the MOT data contain no specific advisories, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of consumable items that are not captured in the test records. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, confirm that brake pads and discs show even wear and no signs of glazing, and examine suspension components such as coil springs and bushings for any looseness or corrosion. A visual check for rust on structural panels and a brief functional test of the steering and exhaust system will further ensure that no hidden degradation has occurred since the last examination.
