2019 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg MHEV

CarHunch analysed 128 real MOT records for the 2019 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 Kia Sportage is noticeably more reliable than average, with an 88.7% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate sits at 17.2%, which is acceptable rather than alarming, so structural or safety issues are not a dominant concern here.

At just over 39,000 miles median, these vehicles have relatively low mileage for their age—a good sign for remaining component life. The average of 0.56 failures per vehicle is respectable, though advisories average 3.8, suggesting minor wear items like brake pads and filters will need attention in the near term; when you're shopping, ask the seller for service history to confirm they've stayed on top of routine maintenance.

What to check before buying a 2019 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg MHEV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
