Our Verdict
This 2013 KIA Sportage is a reasonable o
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover noted in the October 2024 MOT has been replaced. While this was an advisory, it is a common wear item that can lead to more significant steering issues if left unaddressed.
Given the 1995cc diesel engine, check for a consistent service history to ensure the turbocharger and fuel system have been maintained. Because the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate average for this model, look for signs of heavy use in the driver's seat bolster and pedal wear.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by annual mileage. Fuel economy should be respectable for a mid-sized SUV, though higher-than-average mileage will increase your total fuel spend.
Insurance groups for the 2013 Sportage vary depending on the specific trim level, but you should obtain a quote based on this 1995cc engine. Maintenance costs will likely follow standard diesel service intervals, with tyres and brakes being the most frequent items requiring attention according to model-wide data.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The 2024 MOT highlighted a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover; ensure this has been rectified and that there is no excessive play in the steering when the vehicle is stationary.
Additionally, since the aggregate data for this model shows tyres, brake pads, and brake discs as the top failure reasons, perform a thorough check of the tread depth and pad thickness. Check the brake discs for any significant lip or scoring, as these are common failure points for the Sportage.
Registered in November 2013, this Bronze 1.9L diesel Sportage has covered 82,188 miles as of its last MOT in October 2024. The mileage is notably higher than the model average of 7,906 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more extensively than the typical example in our database. The MOT history shows one recorded advisory regarding a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover.
Aggregate data from over 270,000 vehicles shows an 83.3% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to tyres and braking components.
