2017 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · WD17 FUE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test on June 24, 2025 at 102,164 miles. This recent result suggests that the car is currently being maintained to a legal standard. While a failure was recorded in June 2024, the immediate pass on the same day indicates that the specific defects were identified and rectified promptly by the owner. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,352 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 57,011 miles and June 2024 at 89,593 miles, the car covered 32,582 miles, showing a slight increase in annual usage compared to earlier periods. The 12,571 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests confirms a regular usage pattern, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the vehicle has now crossed the 100,000-mile threshold. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, high mileage increases the likelihood of worn bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers showing significant fatigue. Inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion and check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, as these components are the primary points of failure on Sportages at this age and mileage.
