2017 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · WL66 AYB

The vehicle presents a stable MOT history with no recorded defects or advisories across the last five consecutive tests. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 shows a clean pass with no mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. This pattern of consecutive passes without advisories suggests a consistent level of compliance with minimum MOT standards since 2021. The recorded mileage of 45,575 miles is low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 5,064 miles per year. The MOT records show a steady progression of tests between September 2021 and August 2025, though the specific mileage at each individual test interval is not provided to confirm exact annual usage. While low mileage often implies less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, it can also indicate periods where the vehicle has remained stationary. A physical inspection should focus on components that may suffer from lack of use rather than heavy wear. A buyer should check for signs of perished rubber components, such as tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings, which can degrade over time regardless of mileage. It is also advisable to inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as vehicles driven infrequently are prone to surface corrosion and binding brakes. Checking the battery health and fluid levels is also prudent given the low annual mileage profile.
