Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Verify the service history to ensure the 1.6L petrol engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals. While the most recent MOT was clean, check that the rear tyres flagged for wear in 2025 have been replaced with a reputable brand and have plenty of tread remaining.
Check the brake system thoroughly during your inspection. Although this specific car has not failed on brakes, they are a common failure point for the Sportage model. Use any evidence of worn pads or discs to negotiate the final purchase price.
The 1.59L petrol engine will have higher fuel costs than the diesel equivalents of this model. Road tax will be based on the 2018 CO2 emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the Sportage generally fall into a mid-range category.
Typical maintenance for this engine size is straightforward, though annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel consumption and the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
Inspect the rear tyres carefully; the 2025 MOT recorded both the nearside and offside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit. Confirm these have been replaced. Also, examine the brake discs and pads, as these are listed as top failure reasons for the Sportage across aggregate data.
Check the red exterior paintwork for any signs of fading or clear-coat failure, which can occur on older red vehicles. Ensure all electronic features of the 2018 specification are functioning correctly.
This red 2018 Kia Sportage has covered 61,317 miles and shows a stable history. It has passed all five of its MOT tests, including its most recent inspection in August 2026 which recorded no defects.
The Sportage demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across 270,291 analysed vehicles.
