2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · RE67 FCJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 75,055 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 75,043 miles. This immediate pass without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a very minor component issue that was rectified instantly before the re-test, rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 43,560 miles and November 2024 at 65,963 miles, the car covered 22,403 miles, showing steady usage. The recent interval of 9,092 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests maintains this trend, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy strain or the degradation associated with long periods of sitting stationary. Since the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear-and-tear items for this age and model. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of rubber cracking or fatigue, as these components age over time regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness, and examine the undercarriage for early-stage surface corrosion that the MOT tester may not yet flagged as a structural concern.
