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 are choosing based on mileage: a usable distance is not recorded here. Confirm whether this is a new/delivery-mileage car or an incomplete advert.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2023 Sportage diesels in Europe are 1.6 CRDi units with a 48V mild‑hybrid system (MHEV) paired to a 6‑speed manual — there’s an electric assist and energy recovery but no plug‑in charging. Expect a diesel DPF and SCR/AdBlue system; the mild‑hybrid battery is small and usually low‑maintenance but check for any software updates or recall work. Kia’s long warranty (often 7 years in Ireland) can still cover some items — verify remaining warranty transferability on the specific car.
- Clutch feel and biting point — manual Sportages can show clutch wear under heavy use; check for slip on higher loads.
- DPF behaviour — presence of frequent short-trip soot build-up, recent long-run regen history or DPF warning lights.
- AdBlue system and filler cap condition — check for dosing faults or dashboard warnings, and confirm top-ups have been done.
- 48V mild‑hybrid system warnings and battery condition — scan for hybrid faults and ask for any software/recall history.
- Turbo and injector response across the rev range — listen for turbo lag/noise and check for smoke on start or heavy acceleration.
