Used Vehicle FAQs

What is the best used Kia to buy?

Close

The best used Kia to buy depends on your needs and budget. While some customers are looking for an urban friendly option such as the Picanto, others are searching for a spacious and flexible SUV like the Sorento. Our team will be happy to help you identify the best used Kia for your specific requirements.

Are used Kias reliable?

Close

Yes. New Kia cars come with an industry-leading seven year warranty and your chosen used car will be covered by this original warranty as long as it is under seven years old. Kia vehicles often score highly in reliability surveys too, giving you peace of mind on the road.

How many miles is too much for a used Kia?

Close

While there is no specific mileage that is considered ‘too much’ for a used Kia, an industry benchmark is 100,000 miles. After this point wear and tear is more likely to occur, but with proper care your Kia can last much longer.

How long have you got to return a used car?

Close

Our used Kia vehicles each come with a 30-day return guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase during this time you may return the vehicle and either exchange it for a different one or get a refund. Terms and conditions apply.

Things to look for when buying a used car

​Buying a used car from a franchised dealer such as Fiskens offers a certain level of reassurance. All our vehicles are carefully inspected and approved by trained technicians before going on sale. However, you are encouraged to check the condition of your chosen car, take a test drive and ask about the service history and MOT status.

What should I be careful of when buying a used car?

When buying a used car from Fiskens, you can rest assured that it is in a safe and roadworthy condition, and that its performance and efficiency meet the high standards set by the manufacturer. We invite you to check the exterior and interior of your chosen car to ensure it matches your expectations, as well as take a test drive to check the handling.

What mileage is good for a used car in the UK?

Close

A ‘good’ mileage depends on how old the vehicle is and how many owners it has had. Typically we expect vehicles to cover about 10,000 miles per year, so anything beneath that may be considered good.
