Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the maintenance of wear-and-tear items. The MOT history shows a pattern of front tyre wear (2023, 2024, and 2026), so check the current tread depth and alignment. You should also verify if the brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin across all four corners in August 2025, have since been replaced.
Request the full service history to ensure the 1.6L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Use the current advisories for the nearside front tyre and rear trailing arm bushes as a point of negotiation for a price reduction or as a request for the seller to rectify these issues before completion.
The 1591cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and utility, though fuel economy will be typical for a petrol SUV of this era. Maintenance costs are generally moderate, but this specific vehicle is entering a phase where suspension components and braking systems require attention, as evidenced by recent MOT advisories.
Annual costs will include the standard road tax for a 2017 petrol Sportage, insurance (typically a mid-range group), and routine servicing. Given the current wear on tyres and bushings, the first year of ownership may see slightly higher maintenance spend.
Prioritise an inspection of the suspension and tyres. The August 2026 MOT specifically noted worn trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension, as well as a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Ensure these are addressed to maintain safety and handling.
Additionally, check the brake system. Because all four brake pads were recorded as wearing thin in 2025, you should confirm that a full brake service has been performed. Finally, check for any uneven tyre wear on the front axle, which has been a recurring advisory in 2023, 2024, and 2026.
This white 2017 Kia Sportage has recorded five MOT tests with a 100% pass rate. With 61,585 miles, the vehicle has been driven slightly less than the model average. While it has avoided failures, the history shows recurring advisories for tyre wear and a recent note regarding suspension bushings.
The Kia Sportage demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across over 270,000 analysed vehicles.
