When Kia first started making cars in the mid-1980's, their quality was questionable. Now, this Korean brand is well-known for their reliability, stylish design and great build quality.
Even though Kia offers a 7-year warranty as standard on their vehicles, every driver must do their part to ensure their car remains reliable. The most important thing you can do is book a Kia service regularly.

Should I Book a Manufacturer Service for My Kia?

Kia Service and MOT
You can save yourself both time and money when you book your Kia's MOT and service together. While there is no legal obligation to book a car service, you must have a valid MOT at all times to drive on public roads in the UK. When you book the two together, your vehicle will always get the level of care and attention it deserves.
Plus, many Kia garages offer a significant discount on your MOT when you book it alongside a car service. This gives you the best deal and makes your car maintenance as stress-free as possible.

Kia drivers can sign up to the Kia owner's portal to see maintenance milestones, digital service history and much more for their vehicle.
Any services booked outside the official Kia dealership network may not show in this portal. In this case, you will need to keep hold of any receipts or invoices to prove these services went ahead.
Kia generally recommends servicing your Sportage every 12 months, regardless of age or mileage. However, those drivers who own an older Sportage model, or consider themselves high-mileage drivers, may need to book a service more frequently.
(All also include a 12 monthly service interval unless specified) If you own a Sportage registered between 1995 and 1998, you should book a service every 6,000 miles or 6 months. If you own a Sportage registered between 1999 and 2004, you should book a service every 9,000 miles. If you own a petrol Sportage registered between 2005 and 2010, or a Diesel Sportage registered between 2005 and 2007, you should book a service every 10,000 miles. If you own a Diesel Sportage registered between 2008 and 2010, you should book a service every 12,500 miles. If you own a Sportage registered between 2011 and 2015, you should book a service every 20,000 miles. If you own a petrol turbo Sportage registered between 2016 and 2021, or a Sportage registered from 2022 onwards, you should book a service every 10,000 miles. If you own a diesel or non-turbo petrol Sportage registered between 2016 and 2021, you should book a service every 20,000 miles.
These are Kia’s recommendations for booking a manufacturer service, and you should always book an appointment in whichever timeframe comes first. This is in line with BookMyGarage’s recommended full service interval for a Kia Sportage of 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
