Our Verdict
Recommended. This 2.0L diesel Sportage p
Verify whether the front brake discs and pads, which were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in October 2024, were replaced prior to the 2025 MOT. Review the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals. Given the lower annual mileage, it is advisable to check for any signs of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues, which can occur in diesel vehicles that are not frequently driven on long runs.
Running costs for this 1995cc diesel engine will be dominated by fuel and road tax. Maintenance for this model typically centres on common wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brakes, as evidenced by the aggregate failure data for the Sportage. Insurance costs will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Carefully inspect the braking system; although the 2025 MOT was clean, the 2024 advisories regarding scored and pitted discs highlight a known weak point for this model. Check the tyre tread and condition, as tyres are one of the top three MOT failure reasons for the Sportage. Finally, test the windscreen washer system to ensure the 2023 failure was a simple refill and not a symptom of a leaking reservoir.
This orange 2014 Kia Sportage has recorded 76,040 miles, placing it below the model's average annual mileage of 7,932. The MOT history is relatively clean, featuring one minor failure for washer fluid in 2023 and a set of brake advisories in 2024. The most recent test in September 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Sportage maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across 270,291 analysed vehicles.
