Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a family
Focus your attention on the braking system, specifically the offside rear brake disc which was noted as worn, pitted, or scored in January 2026. Use this advisory as a point for negotiation or request proof that the discs have since been replaced.
Verify the service history to ensure the 1.6L petrol engine has received regular oil and filter changes. Given the mileage of 64,007, check for any evidence of recent major component replacements that typically occur around this interval.
The 1591cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel alternatives. Tax and insurance will be typical for a mid-sized family SUV of this era.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though the MOT data suggests a propensity for brake and tyre wear. Expect annual costs to cover these consumables alongside standard servicing.
Perform a detailed inspection of the offside rear brake disc to see if the pitting and scoring mentioned in the 2026 MOT are still present. Check the tread depth and condition of all tyres, as tyres and brake pads are the most frequent failure points for the Sportage according to aggregate data from over 270,000 vehicles.
Confirm that the side repeaters are the correct colour, as this caused a failure in January 2025. Ensure all lighting and indicators are functioning correctly to avoid repeat issues.
This white 2018 Kia Sportage has recorded 64,007 miles. Its MOT history shows a high pass rate, with one failure in 2025 for cosmetic side repeater colours and a recent 2026 advisory regarding a worn offside rear brake disc. The vehicle's usage patterns appear consistent with its age.
The Sportage maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 83.4% across a large sample size, indicating generally reliable build quality.
