2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · RF66 AEP

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 August 2025 at 46,764 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. This follows a curious failure just six days prior at 46,638 miles where the record oddly lists no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor sensor-related issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 29,462 miles and August 2024 at 41,826 miles, the car covered 12,364 miles, which is well below the national average for its age. This low usage typically indicates less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the gradual degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows a lack of recurring advisories or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer should check for brake disc surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished material, as age-related wear occurs regardless of the low mileage recorded. The overall clean record suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained without subjected to heavy neglect.
