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.
- You prefer a higher seating position: this SUV/crossover type may suit. Try getting in and out; the body shape alone does not prove extra seats or four-wheel drive.
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.
This 2023 Sportage diesel-hybrid is likely the 1.6 diesel with a 48V mild-hybrid system (torque fill and improved stop/start) paired to a manual gearbox — the mild-hybrid gives small economy gains but has a tiny battery that isn't externally charged. Modern diesels on this model usually use DPF and AdBlue systems, so low-mileage urban use can cause DPF regeneration issues. The vehicle may still have manufacturer warranty time remaining—check transferability and remaining cover.
- 48V hybrid system: any dashboard hybrid warnings and evidence of recent system/service checks or battery repairs
- DPF condition: visible clogging symptoms (persistent soot smell, frequent short-trip use) and whether forced regenerations were needed
- AdBlue system: dosing faults, injector leaks and records of AdBlue refills or fault codes
- Manual clutch and gearbox: clutch bite point, smooth gear selection and no crunching or vibration (3-year-old manuals can show clutch wear)
- Turbo and EGR behaviour: no excessive smoke on hard acceleration, no rattles from turbo, and EGR-related warning codes
