2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · RF66 AEW

This Kia Sportage presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 57,511 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine year old vehicle. Between January 2022 at 33,015 miles and January 2026 at 57,511 miles, the car covered 24,496 miles, averaging roughly 6,124 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden changes in usage patterns. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last five years is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. The tester flagged no issues with brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions across the entire recorded history. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures that typically plague older SUVs. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean MOT record implies these have been replaced or are still within legal limits, but it does not confirm their remaining life. Verify the service history stamps to ensure the oil and filters were changed in line with the manufacturer's intervals, as the MOT record only confirms legal roadworthiness rather than full mechanical servicing.
