Our Verdict
Recommended. This 2018 Kia Sportage pres
Verify the service history to confirm that the front and rear brake pads and tyres flagged as worn in August 2024 were replaced. The clean MOT results in 2025 and 2026 suggest these items were addressed, but documentation provides necessary confirmation. Check the status of any remaining manufacturer warranty, as 2018 models are typically approaching the end of Kia's standard coverage period.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service interval and the age of the current tyres. Ensure the vehicle has a complete record of oil changes, as the 1.6L petrol engine relies on consistent lubrication to maintain its long-term reliability.
The 1591cc petrol engine provides a smoother drive than diesel alternatives but will result in higher fuel expenditure, particularly in urban environments. Road tax and insurance will fall into mid-range brackets typical for a family SUV of this specification.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, with the primary expenses being routine consumables. Based on the engine size and vehicle class, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing are likely to be moderate.
Pay close attention to the braking system. Although the 2024 advisories for thin pads are no longer present, inspect the brake discs for any signs of lip wear or corrosion, as discs are cited as a top failure reason in aggregate data for this model. Check the current tread depth and brand of all four tyres to ensure they were replaced with quality components following the 2024 warnings.
Perform a visual inspection of the grey paintwork for any stone chips or scratches and check the interior upholstery for wear consistent with the 41,998 recorded miles.
This grey petrol Sportage has recorded five MOT tests since 2022, all of which resulted in passes. With 41,998 miles recorded as of July 2026, the vehicle has been used considerably less than the average Sportage of this age. While the 2024 test noted several wear-and-tear advisories, the two most recent tests have been entirely clean.
The Sportage maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 83.2%, with most failures linked to common wear-and-tear items.
