2023 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg MHEV S A
CarHunch is tracking 150 2023 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg MHEV S A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Kia Sportage diesel is failing its MOT at a catastrophic rate: just 20% pass first time versus the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate sits at a very low 0.7%, so safety isn't the primary concern—instead, the vehicle appears to have systemic issues with emissions or mechanical components that need addressing before test.
At an average of 27,495 miles for a 2023 model, these cars are running higher mileage than typical for their age, yet they're averaging almost no failures and barely any advisories per vehicle, which suggests the testers are flagging fundamental problems rather than wear items. Before buying one, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist focused on the hybrid system and emissions kit, as this cohort's pattern points to specific design or manufacturing gremlins rather than poor maintenance.
We have 150 2023 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg MHEV S A vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg MHEV S A
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.
