2021 KIA SORENTO 3 CRDI AWD S-A2.2L Diesel

The 2021 Kia Sorento 3 CRDi AWD S-A presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 50,355 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 23 December 2024 at 39,145 miles and 22 December 2022 at 28,944 miles also passed clean. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or failures across the available history. Annual mileage averages around 10,000 miles, consistent with typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps between tests. Each examination occurred within a similar December window, suggesting the previous owner followed a disciplined servicing schedule. Clean passes at every interval imply basic consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and wiper blades were renewed before each test rather than left to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the all-wheel-drive layout and diesel torque. Standing moisture exposure can initiate corrosion on structural underbody members even when MOT testers record no defects. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and the DPF regen cycle, as low-stress urban miles can mask soot loading. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt the vehicle from wear on drivetrain mounts or front differential seals. Verify service stamps align with the 28,944, 39,145, and 50,355 mile points. Confirm tyre age and brake pad thickness despite the clean advisories, as these items degrade between annual tests.
