2022 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg

CarHunch analysed 469 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 KIA Sportage 2 CRDi iSG is more reliable than average, with an 87.9% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, and only 4.9% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—well below the threshold of concern. This diesel model shows strong early-life durability with minimal failure issues (0.12 failures per vehicle on average).

At just under 34,000 miles on average, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which partly explains the good results; the 0.6 advisories per vehicle suggest routine maintenance rather than structural problems ahead. If you're considering one, verify the service history carefully and budget for the iSG hybrid system's first major service around 40,000 miles to keep this advantage alive.

What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Sportage 2 CRDI Isg

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.
