2021 KIA Sorento 3 HEV AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MF12 HAR

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 11 May 2026 at 74,540 miles, which passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend across the vehicle's history, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they failed. The absence of advisory notices across multiple tests indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components are currently in good condition. The mileage data reveals a significant acceleration in usage over the last two years. While the car covered only 6,782 miles between January 2024 and May 2024, it clocked 25,395 miles between May 2024 and May 2026. This current average of approximately 15,000 miles per year is above the national average for a five-year-old SUV, indicating consistent motorway or commercial use. This high rate of use puts accelerated wear on the hybrid drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the recent increase in mileage accumulation, an in-person inspection should focus on components prone to stress under high-mileage cycles. The buyer should check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear and inspect the suspension arms and bushes for signs of rubber degradation or tearing caused by frequent use. While the MOT record is clean, a physical check of the hybrid battery cooling system and the condition of the tyres is essential to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to premature component fatigue.
