2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · MJ67 AAV

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend, remaining stable and defect-free across five consecutive years of testing. The most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 59,326 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This pattern of consistent, fault-free certifications suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,592 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase between October 2022 at 26,699 miles and October 2023 at 36,740 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. Aside from this slight uptick, the usage pattern is predictable and does not indicate periods of prolonged standing or excessive wear. Because the DVSA record is entirely devoid of advisories, there are no recurring mechanical failures to flag. The tester has not noted any degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness over the five-year period. This absence of minor faults, such as tyre tread warnings or wiper blade wear, implies a meticulous approach to consumable replacement by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT does not always exhaustively cover. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained alongside the chassis. Given the clean record, the buyer should primarily confirm that the current tyre brands and brake pad depths align with the high standard suggested by the MOT history.
