2021 KIA Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · A14 NBE

The Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 40,589 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed the test on 5 September 2025 at 40,368 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds such as a missing documentation item rather than a fault with the car itself. Annual mileage sits at a modest 8,118 miles per year against the vehicle's five-year age, with the odometer showing 34,289 miles at the 4 September 2024 test and 40,589 miles by September 2025. That is 6,300 miles added in the intervening year, consistent with typical private use. The record is sparse, containing only three entries and no advisories on any pass, so the data gives little insight into wear patterns beyond confirming no flagged issues at the tested intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the hybrid AWD drivetrain places specific load through the rear axle. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of corrosion or structural concern, but the unexplained September 2025 failure warrants verification of the vehicle's paperwork and recall status before purchase. Confirming the reason for that failure with the selling garage remains the single most pertinent check.
