Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a relativel
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol Sportage, focus on the braking system. Although the 2024 MOT failure for worn discs and pads was resolved, you should check for any residual vibration when braking or any unusual noises from the wheels. Given the mileage of 60,087, it is also worth checking the condition of the tyres, as this is a common failure reason for this model aggregate.
As a 1591cc petrol model, running costs are generally moderate for a mid-sized SUV. You should expect typical fuel economy figures for a petrol Sportage of this era. Tax and insurance groups will depend on the specific trim level, but the 1.6L engine is generally more economical to insure than larger displacement variants.
Directly address the 2024 MOT failure by inspecting the current thickness of the brake pads and the surface condition of the brake discs. Look for signs of pitting or scoring on the discs, as these were the specific reasons for the failure at 45,117 miles. Additionally, check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as tyres are a top failure reason for the Sportage model aggregate.
This 2018 grey KIA Sportage has covered 60,087 miles since its first registration in September 2018. While it experienced a failure in early 2024 due to worn brake discs and pads, the three subsequent MOT tests have been passed with no defects recorded. The mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,932 miles per year, but the recent history suggests the vehicle is currently meeting standard testing requirements.
The KIA Sportage shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across the analysed sample, with brakes and tyres being the most frequent failure points.
