Kia Sportage - Engine gone

We have a 131 Sportage, mileage is just under 230k. We have had the car just under 2 years. Running like a dream, only issue we had was with an injector that has been torqued incorrected and we had to have it retreaded, and we had the 4 done at the time (about 6 months ago) to make sure they were ok.

Our NCT was due this month, so brought the car to a local garage for a service. Have used this garage over the years an no issue. Car was serviced, no major issued, put through NCT and failed on brake pads and steering rods, no big deal. Car when back to the garage the next week and had same replaced. This was on a Saturday. On the Monday there was a weird noise from the car and brought it back to garage, he said hand brake was tightened too much so he adjusted it and all good.

On the Thurs we thought we would hear a faint ticking in the engine, barely audible, no warning lights showing. Didnt think much of it tbh as had just been serviced. Had booked NCT for Saturday morning. Went out to the car that morning and there was a red engine oil light on. First time it had come on. Turned on the engine and it did not sound good at all. Texted garage and asked could I drop car in for 9am and said ok, didnt go to NCT but did drive approx 7 miles to the garage. Engine did not sound good but car was driving fine.

2 hours later prognosis was not good at all. Told engine was gone, and not work repairing and that the damage had been done in driving to the garage after that light came on. Most likely the timing chain had been stretching for some time and had likely now broke, so no oil getting to the engine, and major damage done. Towed to another mechanic (family friend) and told the same. He is telling us is it just not economical to repair, either replacing with second hand engine or stripping and reconditioning our own engine will cost a few thousand, and no guarantee that all will work well and wont be more stuff to replace after that.

Neither of us know anything about cars, but this just seems crazy. Looking like the car is scrap and just buy a new car.

As it stands is there any value in our car? Even for parts? And if so where do we sell it? I have called the kia dealer where we bought the car 2 years ago a number of times at this stage and cant get a call back for love nor money. Would a garage take the car and give us some amount against another second hand car?

Really dont know what to do, live in rural Ireland and wholly reliant on the car for work, already a week is gone and nothing is progressing, not sure what to do for the best.

Anyone I have spoken to, including mechanic said it is really unusual for this to happen in a car of this age and this mileage.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
