2022 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg

CarHunch analysed 213 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Sportage 3 CRDI Isg. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Kia Sportage 3 CRDi iSG is a solid performer, with a 90.1% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80% by a clear margin. Dangerous defects are rare at just 3.3% of vehicles, so safety concerns are minimal for this cohort.

At around 28,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage for their age, which explains the very low failure rate of just 0.14 per vehicle. When you do see issues, they're mostly minor advisories (0.9 per car on average), suggesting wear-and-tear rather than engineering problems—a good sign for longevity if the owner keeps up with routine maintenance and addresses advisories promptly.

What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Sportage 3 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.
