I own an 8-year-old Kia Sportage that I bought from my local Kia dealer 7.5 years ago with 2500 miles on the clock. Since then, the car has been serviced and MOT'd at that garage. At its recent service, it had covered 42,000 miles. It's in seemingly very good all-around condition but after the service, I was handed a list of advisory problems and recommended repairs that amounted to over £4000 (on top of the £475 cost of the service) with additional costs to be determined following investigations. This amounts to over half the current value of the car and I am frankly shocked. I was handed the list without any explanation of the technical points involved and I'm still awaiting a call from a manager to hopefully discuss the details of the car's needs that include new radiators (bowed and deteriorated), an aircon condenser (failed), new front brake discs (corroded), new rear coil spring (corroded), new parking sensors (failed), new front side-light unit (water ingress) and the investigation of an oil leak on the rear differential, but I wonder if you feel, as I do, that this is totally excessive and unacceptable for a well-maintained and lightly used vehicle. I wonder whether you can advise me as to what I should say and do in my dealings with the garage? I thank you in anticipation. Kind regards.
