The 2020 Kia Sportage 4 CRDI passes its first MOT 89% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, which marks it as a genuinely reliable proposition for this age and mileage.

These Sportages are running 33,237 miles at the median—typical for a four-year-old car—and when they do fail, it's usually minor stuff: averaging just 0.45 failures but 3.4 advisories per test suggests wear-and-tear rather than serious mechanical problems. Before you buy, get a pre-MOT check-up report from the seller and budget for routine advisory work like worn brake pads or suspension components that accumulate with age.

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.
