Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Kia Sportage GT Ln S Isg HEV 4x4 A?

This 2022 Kia Sportage hybrid is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 94.4% first-time pass rate that demolishes the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are vanishingly rare at just 0.8% of the fleet. The hybrid powertrain appears to be working well, with almost no failures cropping up across the 1,006 vehicles tested.

At 22,650 miles median mileage, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage, which explains the pristine performance, but the real insight is that owners are reporting almost nothing wrong: just 0.06 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle on average. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection done anyway—not because of reliability concerns, but because these cars are genuinely trouble-free and you'll want to make sure the specific example you're looking at hasn't been abused.

The 2022 Kia Sportage GT Ln S Isg HEV 4x4 A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
