Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the recent h
Given the high mileage of 147,493 miles, you should request a detailed service history to see how the 1.7L diesel engine has been maintained. Focus on verifying if the timing belt/chain and fuel system components have been addressed, as these are critical for high-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the recorded MOT failures. Even though the specific reasons for the 2024 and 2025 failures aren't listed, the fact that they occurred suggests maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive. Ensure you check the service interval compliance before committing to a purchase.
As a 1685cc diesel, this Sportage is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its age and high mileage. Expect typical diesel fuel economy for a mid-sized SUV of this era.
Tax and insurance will vary depending on the specific insurance group, but for a 2011 model, costs are generally moderate. Maintenance costs may increase due to the vehicle's age, with potential requirements for suspension, braking, or exhaust components common to high-mileage diesel SUVs.
When inspecting this silver Sportage, pay close attention to the braking system. Aggregate data for this model indicates that brake pads and brake discs are top reasons for MOT failures, so check for uneven wear or scoring on the discs.
Additionally, because the vehicle has failed two MOT tests in the last 24 months (June 2024 and July 2025), inspect the underside for signs of corrosion or leaks. Given the 147,493 miles on the clock, also check the condition of the suspension bushings and shock absorbers, as these often wear significantly by this stage of a vehicle's life.
This 2011 silver KIA Sportage 2 CRDI has covered 147,493 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,051 miles per year, suggesting heavy usage. The MOT history shows two failures within the last two years, specifically in June 2024 and July 2025, though no specific defect types were recorded in the provided data.
Aggregate data from 783 analysed vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with brake-related issues being common failure points.
