Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When negotiating, use the recent MOT failure and the list of advisories to your advantage. The July 2026 test highlighted issues with track rod ends, tyres, and a CV boot; you should verify that these specific components were not just 'passed' but actually replaced with new parts. Ask for physical receipts for these repairs rather than relying on the MOT certificate alone.
Check the service history specifically for oil changes and brake inspections, as the vehicle has shown a trend of wearing through brake pads and discs. Given the recurring advisories regarding track rod ends and tyre wear, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate an alignment issue that hasn't been fully rectified.
As a 1.6L petrol model, this Sportage typically falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for a mid-sized SUV. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally average for the segment, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are influenced by the recurring wear items seen in the MOT history, such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components like track rod ends. Expect typical servicing costs for a petrol SUV, but budget for more frequent tyre and brake replacements based on the recorded patterns.
A priority inspection should be the front suspension and steering. The MOT history shows 'slight play' in both nearside and offside front track rod end ball joints in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Ensure these have been replaced and that the steering feels tight.
Secondly, inspect the CV boots and tyres. The 2026 MOT recorded a 'severely deteriorated' nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. Check that this boot is intact and not leaking grease. Finally, examine the tyres; the history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having cuts, so check the current tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four wheels.
This 2019 grey KIA Sportage (RY19JWD) has covered 57,314 miles since its registration in July 2019. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically with track rod end ball joints and tyre wear, which have appeared in multiple consecutive tests. The most recent MOT in July 2026 was a failure due to brake pad thickness and a leaking CV boot, though these were addressed for the subsequent pass.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.2%, with the most common failure reasons being tyres, brake pads, and brake discs.
