Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 273,587 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
On the 2010–2015 Sportage the common diesels are the 1.7 and 2.0 CRDi units; both are economical but will show DPF/EGR wear if mostly used on short urban trips. Manual boxes are straightforward but expect clutch wear on high‑mileage examples; some cars had optional AWD, so check for that if you need light off‑road ability or towing confidence.
- DPF soot loading and EGR operation — heavy urban use accelerates blockages
- Clutch engagement and gearbox synchros for smooth shifting and any slipping
- Turbocharger play and smoke on boost (signs of oil ingress or poor maintenance)
- Underbody and rear wheelarch corrosion, and condition of the tailgate lower seam
- If fitted with AWD, check 4x4 engagement, rear diff/transfer oil leaks and driveshaft play
