Kia Sportage 4 Isg HEV Auto (2023)
2023 Kia Sportage 4 Isg HEV Auto
CarHunch is tracking 553 2023 Kia Sportage 4 Isg HEV Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Kia Sportage hybrid is failing its first MOT at an alarming rate of just 10.2%, compared to the UK average of 80%—a massive red flag that suggests either a systematic testing issue, incomplete data capture, or serious underlying problems with this specific powertrain variant. The dangerous defect rate of 0.5% is mercifully low, but the near-zero failure and advisory counts (0.01 and 0.0 per vehicle) seem implausibly clean and warrant treating these results with caution.
At 23,595 miles median, these vehicles are still relatively new and low-mileage, yet the catastrophically low pass rate isn't explained by age or wear—something structural is wrong with how these cars are performing in real-world testing. Before buying a 2023 Kia Sportage with this engine and gearbox combination, contact Kia directly about any known hybrid system issues or recalls, and insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent specialist familiar with ISG hybrid technology.

What to check before buying a 2023 Kia Sportage 4 Isg HEV Auto
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.
