2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · TT04 ACW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 54,668 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding day, 9 June 2025, it failed on an undisclosed fault but was rectified within 24 hours, indicating prompt attention to whatever issue arose. Across the five recorded tests spanning 2022 to 2025, no recurring mechanical or structural defects have appeared, suggesting the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening or improving. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's nine-year age, averaging approximately 6,074 miles annually. The gap between the April 2024 and June 2025 tests covers roughly 4,592 miles, consistent with the overall pattern of moderate, even usage. No evidence of rapid mileage spikes or extended periods of inactivity emerges from the records. The history is notably clean, with no advisories or failures indicating neglect. Given the absence of recurring faults, a buyer should focus on components subject to gradual wear that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for cracking or oil leakage, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, particularly if the June 2025 failure involved a binding caliper, which can warp discs. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify that emissions remain within tolerance, as these are common areas of deterioration on Kia Sportage models of this era.
