Kia Promise: Terms & Conditions

7 Year Warranty

Terms and Exclusions


At Kia, we don't just sell cars that look nice. We want our customers to enjoy them for years to come.

We use the latest engineering and technical know-how to design and build Kia cars – and we think you’ll appreciate this every time you get behind the wheel. In fact, we’re so proud of how we put our cars together that we offer one of the most comprehensive warranties around.

The 7- year warranty applies to Kia cars bought from an authorised Kia dealer, and it is registered and normally used in the UK. You have statutory rights in relation to the goods against other parties and those rights are not affected by the guarantee.

This document explains the terms & exclusions for three relevant separate warranties that apply to our current range of cars, as below:

Basic Warranty

Anti-Perforation Warranty

Parts Warranty

Electric (EV) & Hybrid vehicles

What’s covered?

Kia warrants a new car to be free of defects in material or workmanship - we've set out the terms and conditions below. An authorised Kia dealer will make any repairs, using new or remanufactured parts, to put right any problem covered by this limited warranty free of charge. Whilst the contract to carry out the repairs will be with the dealer, we will pay the costs of the repairs. Any parts replaced during a warranty repair are covered for the remainder of the warranty period only.

The warranty period

The new car limited warranty is divided into various periods. They begin on the date of registration except for service parts or accessories that are installed at a later date. The warranty transfers to each new owner as long as it hasn't expired.

What’s covered by the basic warranty?

Kia covers the components of a new Kia car for unlimited mileage up to 36 months, and for 100,000 miles between 37 and 84 months, from the date of first registration.

The battery – this is covered for 24 months

The air conditioning refrigerant charge - this is also covered for 24 months

Wheel balance and steering alignment - are covered for the first 1000 miles or one month

Cracks in the exterior glass - are covered for the first 1000 miles or three months

Using a kia car as a taxi or for private hire

If a customer uses a Kia car as a taxi or for private hire, the warranty period is 84 or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. It will need to have been registered as a taxi in line with our procedures, or it will only be covered for 60,000 miles.

Warranty repairs


You should take your Kia car, along with your warranty information and service record booklet, to an authorised Kia dealer during its normal opening hours and ask them to repair it for you. Whilst the contract to carry out the repairs will be with the dealer, we will pay the costs of the repairs. Any authorised Kia dealer can carry out warranty repairs, but we recommend taking it to the one you bought it from if possible.

Warranty period

For this warranty to remain valid a Kia car should be inspected by a Kia dealer or authorised repairer every 12 or 24 months depending upon the model - the dealer may charge for this.

What's not covered?

Any corrosion of the Kia car that doesn't result in perforation.

Customer responsibilities


Customers should regularly look closely at the sheet metal panels on the exterior body. If any stone chips or scratches in the paint or protective coating are found, they should be touched up straight away.

In certain conditions. special care should be taken to protect your Kia from corrosion.

If driven on salted roads, or near the sea, flush the underbody with clean water at least once a month.

It's important to keep the drain holes in the lower edges of the body clear.

If damaged in any way that may affect the paint, have it repaired as soon as possible.

If carrying special cargo such as chemicals, fertilisers, de-icing salt or other corrosive substances, make sure that they're well packaged and sealed.

If often driven on gravel roads, we recommend installing mud flaps behind each wheel.

After each regular check, make sure the correct anti-perforation record in the manual have been stamped by the Kia dealer or authorised repairer.

Kia Care Service Plan

Terms & Conditions


Kia Care service plans are administered on behalf of Kia (UK) Ltd by EMaC Ltd.

Kia Care service plans covering the first scheduled service must be purchased within 11 calendar months from the date of first registration of the vehicle (5 months for petrol Stinger models). All Kia Care service plans must be bought at least one month before the first scheduled visit covered by the plan, to allow time for administration. Kia Care service plans cover specified scheduled services in line with Manufacturers time/mileage recommendations but do not include additional maintenance or repair for wear & tear items such as tyres, brake pads, bulbs, drive belts and fluid top up's between services, etc. Kia Care service plans cover the cost of the parts, lubricants and labour involved in the scheduled services for specific months or miles, whichever milestone is reached sooner. Kia Care service plans are developed for customers covering a maximum annual mileage matching the standard service interval, e.g., up to 11,000 miles where the scheduled interval is 10,000 miles per annum plus 1,000 miles grace period.

If the Kia Care service plan has been purchased using a direct debit payment plan then the plan must be fully paid for before the first service is claimed.

Should you purchase a service plan and exceed the annual mileage or present the car late for the service, certain additional service components on your car may need replacing - for which your dealer will charge you separately. This includes any additional parts, labour and oils required due to exceeding the mileage or time interval. Kia Care service plans are only applicable to parts and lubricants supplied and labour charges in the UK, although Kia Care may be purchased in respect of vehicles purchased in other parts of the EEC. Servicing conducted under Kia Care service plans must be carried out in line with the manufacturer's time and mileage recommendations. Service due dates are taken form the First Date of Registration of the vehicle. You can arrange for servicing under a Kia Care service plan to be carried out by any Kia Dealer or Authorised Repairer within the UK. Kia Care service plans do not cover items that require replacement or repair due to excess wear and tear, misuse or a lack of maintenance as described in the owners handbook. Any form of tuning or modification to your vehicle will invalidate Kia Care service plan, without the need for evidence that the tuning or modification has adversely affected your vehicle.

Replacement pollen filters


Replacement pollen filters are included in Kia Care service plans. Replacement pollen filters are included in the services at 24, 48 and 72 months or equivalent mileages. These are included in addition to the manufacturer's scheduled service requirement.

Value Added Tax (VAT) at a rate of 20% is included in the purchase price.

Cancellations & Transfers


Should you wish to cancel your Kia Care service plan, you have the right to do so within 14 days of purchase, providing you have not made use of it. Kia Care service plans cannot be cancelled/refunded after 14 days from purchase. Kia Care service plans are assigned to the vehicle and not the owner. Therefore the Kia Care service plan is transferable to subsequent owners but cannot be transferred to another vehicle.

High Mileage Users


Kia Care service plan 'high mileage' options are also available for some models where the service interval allows. Higher mileage users are defined as an annual mileage of between 11,001 to 20,000 miles. Kia Care service plans for higher mileage users cover the first 3 services only.

MOT Test Fee


Customers can purchase MOT tests for £35 per MOT test, for use at participating dealers. These are intended to be applied at the service visits annually from 36 months (3rd service) onwards. The MOT test fee is for the Government MOT test and excludes the cost of any required repairs. MOT fee is zero rated for VAT. MOT offer excludes Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Valid at participating dealers only. Offer excludes Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The offer is for 1 MOT Test free of charge. The MOT Test must be carried out at a Kia dealer. The MOT Test will be the next test which is due during the service plan period. The MOT will be available to redeem 21 days after your Kia Care Service Plan purchase. The MOT test must be carried out on the same car covered by the Kia Care policy. Cannot be transferred to another car. You cannot pay for a MOT Test and reclaim the money from Kia. No substitute/alternative, e.g. cash, is available. Outside of this offer the Government maximum fee for a MOT Test is £54.85
