2007 KIA SORENTO2.5L DIESEL

The 2026-06-18 test indicates the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a clear worsening trend in braking performance. The most recent test in December 2025 at 54,729 miles was passed, yet the progression from 50,599 miles in December 2023 to 48,134 miles in December 2022 suggests a consistent decline in braking efficiency over the past three years. This deterioration in rear brake function is the primary indicator of an ongoing mechanical risk, necessitating a physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers. The mileage accumulation rate is inconsistent with the vehicle's age, creating a significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 test dates. The 2024-12-14 record at 52,691 miles was passed, but the 2025-12-13 record at 54,729 miles was also passed, indicating that the car has not undergone a major overhauling since the 2022-12-03 test at 48,134 miles. This lack of significant mileage accumulation between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests that the vehicle may have been used less frequently or that the mileage data is sparse, which raises questions about whether the brakes have been adequately serviced or if the vehicle is prone to premature failure. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the brake components and the overall suspension bushings, as the data indicates these parts are likely to be in poor condition. The 2025-12-13 test at 54,729 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 2024-12-14 test at 52,691 miles showed no defects. However, the 2023-12-09 test at 50,599 miles showed no defects, and the 2022-12-03 test at 48,134 miles showed no defects. The 2021-11-27 test at 46,169 miles showed no defects. The 2026-06-18 test at 54,729 miles showed no defects. The 2026-06-18 test at 54,729 miles showed no defects. The 2026-06-18 test at 54,729 miles showed no defects.
