2017 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · SN67 UBS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 78,039 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet all legal requirements. This stable trend across the last five years suggests a proactive approach to maintenance and avoids the recurring failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern aligns with expectations for a nine-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 48,716 miles and March 2026 at 78,039 miles, the vehicle covered 29,323 miles, showing a steady usage rate without significant gaps. The 10,437-mile interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates regular operation, which helps prevent the seal seizing and component degradation associated with long-term stationary vehicles. Since the MOT record shows no advisories or faults, an in-person inspection should focus on standard wear items not fully captured during a stationary test. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show wear on Sportage models at this mileage. Additionally, verifying the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and checking the tyre tread for consistent patterns will confirm if the clean MOT history reflects overall mechanical excellence.
