2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · TY56 NAN

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 6 December 2025 at 23,013 miles recorded no defects whatsoever, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. This trend suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular inspections and has avoided the mechanical fatigue or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Kia, averaging approximately 2,557 miles per annum. Between December 2021 at 15,233 miles and December 2025 at 23,013 miles, the car covered only 7,780 miles, confirming a light usage profile. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for signs of corrosion or flat-spotting, as infrequent use can cause surface rust to pit. It is also necessary to inspect the underbody and chassis for any signs of surface corrosion that may have developed despite the lack of mechanical scrubbing from frequent driving. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as rubber degrades over time before the tread reaches the legal limit on low-use vehicles.
