Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When viewing this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the 2026 MOT advisory regarding the oil leak. While recorded as 'not excessive', you should check the engine bay and undercarriage for signs of weeping around gaskets or seals. It is also worth asking if the oil leak was investigated or repaired following the July 2026 test.
Given the recent advisories regarding tyre condition (cracking/perishing) on both the nearside front and rear, check the manufacture date on the sidewalls. Even with low mileage, tyres can age and require replacement. Additionally, verify if the parking brake has been adjusted, as the 2026 record noted the travel was slightly high.
As a 1.7L diesel, this Sportage is designed for efficient long-distance driving. You can expect moderate fuel economy typical of a compact SUV in this class. Tax and insurance groups will vary based on the specific trim level, but the 1685cc engine is a common, well-understood unit.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for tyre replacements and brake servicing, which are the most common failure points for this model across the 270,281 vehicles analysed. Estimated annual running costs typically fall in the mid-range for this segment.
Focus your inspection on the tyres; the 2026 MOT specifically flagged cracking or perishing on the nearside front and rear. This suggests that while the tread may look adequate, the rubber itself may be aging. Inspect the tyres across the whole vehicle to ensure consistent condition.
Secondly, investigate the reported oil leak from the July 2026 MOT. Look for residue around the sump or valve cover. Finally, test the parking brake to ensure it engages firmly and does not require excessive pull, addressing the 'high travel' advisory noted in the most recent test.
This 2017 silver KIA Sportage has covered 47,940 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,928 miles per year. The MOT history shows four consecutive years of clean passes prior to 2026, where some minor maintenance items were noted. It remains a low-mileage example of this 1.7L diesel variant.
Aggregate data from over 270,000 vehicles shows an 83.2% MOT pass rate, with tyres, brake pads, and discs being the most frequent reasons for failure.
