2010 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · PN60 ABK

The Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 24 February 2025 at 154,210 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Mechanical maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass and fail showing zero logged faults. The repeated failures on 12 February 2025 and 8 February 2024, both with no defects cited, indicate non-mechanical or administrative rejections rather than worsening condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. In the 10 February 2023 test at 135,274 miles, the Sorento passed clean. By the 8 February 2024 examination at 143,563 miles it had covered 8,289 miles over the year, then added 10,586 miles to reach 154,160 miles at the 12 February 2025 failure. This equates to roughly 9,600 to 10,600 miles annually, matching the expected average. The supplied record spans only three consecutive years and shows no advisories, leaving limited scope to judge long-term care patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components. The 2010 Sorento at 154,210 miles demands close scrutiny of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, plus underbody structural integrity and corrosion on chassis members. Absence of recorded advisories does not exempt these items from wear. The two fail results carrying no defect entries merit verification of test certificates and vehicle documentation. Previous owners may have presented the car for test prematurely or encountered procedural issues, but the clean mechanical logs suggest basic upkeep was not neglected on consumables. Physical checks of exhaust emissions and tyre condition remain prudent before purchase.
