Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
When viewing this specific 2022 model, ensure you verify the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOT history shows no defects, it is standard practice to check for evidence of regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance, particularly as the vehicle is now entering a stage where major service intervals may approach.
Given that the model aggregate data identifies tyres, brake pads, and brake discs as the most common MOT failure reasons for the Sportage, we recommend inspecting the tread depth and pad thickness during your test drive. Even though this specific car passed without issue, these are the areas where wear is most likely to manifest on this model.
As a 1.6L petrol engine (1591cc) meeting Euro 6 AP standards, this Sportage is designed for relatively efficient modern driving. You can expect moderate fuel economy typical of a compact SUV, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance costs will vary based on your specific postcode and driver profile, but the Euro 6 status helps with compliance in Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ). Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for the common wear items identified in the wider model data, such as tyres and braking components.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. Although the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests recorded no defects, the model's statistical trends suggest that tyres and braking components (pads and discs) are the primary points of failure. Check the tyres for uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the exterior black paintwork for any significant stone chips or scratches, which are common on SUVs driven on motorways. Since the vehicle has covered over 38,000 miles, check that all electronic features and the infotainment system are functioning correctly, as these are integral to the Sportage user experience.
Registered in January 2022, this black 1.6L petrol Sportage has covered 38,302 miles according to its most recent MOT in December 2025. The vehicle has a clean inspection record, passing its last two annual tests without any recorded defects. Compared to the model average of 7,928 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven slightly more than the typical specimen, but remains well within a reasonable range for a four-year-old SUV.
The Kia Sportage shows an 83.2% average MOT pass rate across 270,281 analysed vehicles, with most failures relating to standard wear items like tyres and brakes.
