Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a modern,
Verify that the front tyres and windscreen wiper blades highlighted in the March 2026 MOT have been replaced, as these were flagged as worn or defective. You should use these specific advisories as a point of negotiation or request proof of replacement before purchase.
Review the service history to ensure the 1.6L engine has been serviced according to the manufacturer's intervals. This is essential for maintaining the vehicle's value and any remaining manufacturer warranty associated with a 2023 registration.
The 1598cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than a diesel alternative. Being a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it avoids most urban emissions charges, but insurance costs will vary based on the specific insurance group for the '3 ISG' trim level.
Typical maintenance for this model involves routine oil changes and tyre replacements. Given the SUV's size and fuel type, expect moderate annual expenditure on consumables and road tax.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT record specifically highlighted wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres. Check the windscreen wiper blades for smearing, as this was explicitly noted in the 2026 test.
Additionally, as parking brake efficiency is one of the top failure reasons for this model across 7,074 analysed vehicles, ensure the parking brake holds the vehicle firmly on a gradient. Inspect the overall exterior paintwork of the grey finish for any stone chips or scratches common to motorway mileage.
This grey 2023 Kia Sportage 3 ISG has recorded 22,327 miles, which is below the model average of 8,237 miles per year. Its first MOT in March 2026 resulted in a pass, although it noted advisories regarding front tyre wear and a defective wiper blade. As a Euro 6 AP petrol vehicle, it meets current emissions standards for UK roads.
The Sportage demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 88.3% across a large sample of over 7,000 vehicles.
