2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · SF66 ACS

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 June 2025 at 47,830 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,314 miles per year. The distance covered between June 2022 at 29,116 miles and June 2025 at 47,830 miles shows a steady, light usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon and indicates a high standard of preventative care or very light duty. The failure on 3 July 2024 was resolved within four miles, suggesting a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not perished despite the low tread wear. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and engine mounts, as these rubber components can crack over nine years regardless of the low mileage.
