Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle presents a con
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.7L diesel engine has had regular oil changes. Given the mileage has now passed 100,000, verify if any major wear-and-tear components have been replaced recently. You should also confirm the nature of the February 2025 MOT failure, as the record indicates a fail but lists no specific defects, suggesting it may have been a minor or administrative issue.
The 1685cc diesel engine is geared toward fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher annual mileages. Tax and insurance will be standard for a mid-specification SUV of this age and engine size.
Typical maintenance for this model is generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic diesel-specific requirements such as DPF health checks. The estimated annual running cost is moderate for its class.
While this specific vehicle has a clean recent record, you should check the common failure points identified in aggregate data for this model: the operation of the parking brake and the condition of the driver's seat. Ensure all tyres have legal tread depths, as tyres are a frequent cause of MOT failure for the Sportage.
Perform a physical inspection of the bodywork and chassis for any signs of corrosion, and check that the ISG (Idle Stop & Go) system is functioning correctly, as this is a key feature of this specific engine variant.
This black 2016 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI has covered 102,680 miles. The MOT history is notably stable, with only one failure recorded in February 2025 which was resolved within 11 days. It serves as a data-supported example of the model's general reliability.
This model demonstrates strong reliability, with an average MOT pass rate of 94.3% across 1,566 analysed vehicles.
