2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · MF67 YPT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals an inconsistent pattern of reactive repairs. While the most recent test on 21 April 2026 at 61,593 miles passed without defects, it followed a failure just five miles prior. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues including an ABS fault, failed windscreen wipers, and front tyres below the legal limit. The trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical and safety faults when prompted by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 61,593 miles, the nine-year-old Sportage has averaged approximately 6,844 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a 4,395-mile gap between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 3,970 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This consistent usage rate generally benefits the drivetrain drivetrain and suspension, though the recurring failures indicate neglect of basic consumable items. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the ABS system to ensure the fault flagged in April 2026 has been properly rectified and not merely reset. The recurring issue with uneven front tyre wear, noted in both 2025 and 2026, suggests a potential persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require a professional assessment. Additionally, the rear brake pads should be inspected, as they were recorded as dangerously thin in 2025, and the current state of the remaining components may be nearing the end of their service life.
