2017 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg
CarHunch analysed 579 real MOT records for the 2017 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 Kia Sportage diesel falls slightly short of the UK average MOT pass rate at 76.6% versus 80%, suggesting it's marginally less reliable than typical cars its age, though not by a worrying margin. The good news is that zero vehicles in this cohort ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern here.
At just under 64,000 miles median, these Sportages show lower-than-typical mileage for a seven-year-old, which explains why the average failure count is minimal at 0.1 per vehicle—these are relatively lightly used examples. When failures do occur, they're minor enough that advisories barely register, so your main concern on purchase should be a thorough pre-buy inspection focusing on the common wear items that might push a borderline MOT test into a fail.
What to check before buying a 2017 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
