Our Verdict
This 2016 Kia Sorento presents a low-risk purchase with a clean MOT history and below-average mileage for its age, though buyers should verify service records and inspect for potential long-term diesel engine wear.
Prioritize checking the service history for regular oil changes and DPF (diesel particulate filter) maintenance, common concerns for diesel vehicles. Inspect for oil leaks around the engine and check the condition of the suspension components, which can degrade over time. Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage and clean MOT record, but remain cautious about potential hidden issues unrelated to MOT testing.
