2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · MA67 RKX

The 2017 Kia Sportage stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 25 March 2026 at 62,110 miles passed with no defects recorded. Prior examinations from 2022 through 2025 each returned clean results, showing no worsening mechanical or structural issues. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record opens with a pass on 3 May 2022 at 29,129 miles. Subsequent tests show 36,317 miles on 1 May 2023, 44,132 miles on 23 April 2024, 52,765 miles on 14 April 2025, and the final 62,110 miles in March 2026. Annual distances rose gradually from roughly 7,200 to 9,300 miles, reflecting steady private motoring rather than erratic high load or long dormant periods. The absence of advisories across all five tests suggests the former keeper monitored consumables and rectified tyres, wiper blades, or minor corrosion ahead of each assessment. A clean history does not negate the need for independent verification. A buyer should still examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers for early fatigue. Inspect brake discs and exhaust emissions during a cold start, and assess structural integrity underneath for rust at chassis mounting points.
