Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this Sportage, verify that the service history aligns with manufacturer requirements to ensure any remaining warranty remains valid. Check for evidence of regular oil changes, as the 1.6L petrol engine requires consistent maintenance for long-term efficiency.
Negotiate based on the current condition of consumables. While this vehicle's MOT history is clear, aggregate data for the Sportage indicates that tyres, brake pads, and discs are the most frequent failure points; checking the remaining tread and pad thickness will help determine if immediate maintenance costs are imminent.
The 1591cc petrol engine is a Euro 6 AP compliant unit, ensuring it meets modern emissions standards and is suitable for use in low-emission zones. Fuel economy for this engine size typically falls into a mid-range category for compact SUVs, and insurance groups for the Sportage are generally competitive for its class.
Annual running costs, covering road tax, insurance, fuel, and routine servicing, are estimated to be between £1,800 and £2,400 depending on the driver's profile and annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the wear items highlighted in the model's aggregate data. Specifically, examine the tyres for uneven wear and check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are the top three failure reasons for this model across 270,269 analysed vehicles.
Additionally, inspect the red paintwork for any stone chips or fading and ensure all electronic systems are functioning correctly. While the MOT records from 2024 to 2026 show no defects, a physical check of the chassis and suspension components is recommended for a vehicle approaching 40,000 miles.
This red 2021 Kia Sportage featuring a 1591cc petrol engine has covered 39,827 miles. The MOT history is notably clear, with passes recorded in 2024, 2025, and 2026, all without a single defect noted. It represents a consistent example of a Euro 6 AP compliant vehicle with mileage that aligns closely with model averages.
The Sportage maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 83.3% based on a large sample size of over 270,000 vehicles.
