Our Verdict
A 2014 KIA Sportage with mostly clean MOT history and low mileage, but a 2024 failure over minor lighting issues suggests potential for recurring electrical problems. Suitable for cautious buyers who inspect closely.
Prioritise checking the headlamp and fog lamp functionality, as these failed in 2024. Inspect the tyres for wear (noted in 2023) and ensure the brake discs are in good condition. Request full service records to verify maintenance consistency. Negotiate slightly due to the 2024 failure, but the recent MOT passes offset some concerns. Be cautious of potential electrical issues common in older Kias.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers average fuel economy of 35-40 mpg, translating to £800-£1,000 annual fuel costs for 8,000-10,000 miles. Road tax is £145 annually (2023-2026 rate for petrol vehicles over 3 years old). Insurance group is unknown but likely mid-range. Maintenance costs may rise due to age, with £300-£500 annual servicing expected for a 12-year-old vehicle.
Focus on the offside headlamp and fog lamp systems, as these failed in 2024. Check for corrosion in the lighting units and verify the registration plate lamp works. Inspect tyres for uneven wear (noted in 2023) and ensure brake discs are not excessively worn. Examine the vehicle's electrical system for intermittent faults, common in older Kias. Confirm the engine and transmission operate smoothly without unusual noises.
This 2014 KIA Sportage has a mostly clean MOT history with no major defects in its last three tests, though a 2024 failure highlighted non-functional headlamps and fog lamps. At 82,483 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 12-year-old vehicle, but the recent service record shows no significant issues. The 1.6L petrol engine is reliable, though no aggregate model data is available to confirm long-term reliability.
No aggregate MOT data available for the KIA Sportage, but this vehicle's history shows mostly reliable performance with only minor issues over 12 years.
