    Not sure on problems or mpg but some are AWD and some aren't. The seller should be able to tell you which model it is.

    They're not permanent 4wd (there are also 2wd versions) it's 4wd on demand.
    Mileage will depend on your driving, but I know of a 2wd Tucson (basically the same thing) which was averaging 40mpg mostly open road driving. The 4wd will obviously use a bit more.

    We had a 2007 top spec in work a few years back, gave a lot of trouble, it was bought with similar mileage to yours. Clutch, EGR all went in the space of a few months, there was more repairs too just cant think of them right now.

    Ive had 2 petrol picanto's at home though and never gave a days trouble in 10 years so Kia are generally fairly reliable IMO.
