Our Verdict

This 2021 Kia Sportage offers good value but requires caution due to recurring suspension and tyre issues. The recent MOT pass is positive, but the 2025 failures highlight potential maintenance risks.

Prioritise a full suspension inspection, especially the trailing arm bushes mentioned in multiple MOTs. Check for consistent tyre wear patterns, as repeated near-limit tyre issues may indicate alignment or suspension problems. Verify service history for timely maintenance of brakes and tyres. Negotiate a discount for potential repair costs, particularly for suspension components. Be cautious of the child seat issue in 2024, which may indicate improper restraint usage.
