Thinking of buying a used Kia Sportage.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a used Kia Sportage but am wondering is the road tax very high on them or did it come down a bit in recent years? My budget is approx: 10,000-12,000. Thanks.
Our answer:
Hi Aileen,
It depends precisely on which model you’re looking at, but just by way of example, if you were to buy a 2012 version with front-wheel drive, then you’re looking at CO2 emissions of 135g/km and therefore motor tax of €280 a year.
