2017 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · TG53 BTG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 August 2025 at 75,053 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle remains in good mechanical condition. This streak of clean passes across five consecutive tests suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where the owner has addressed potential issues before they resulted in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 41,671 miles and the August 2025 test at 75,053 miles, the car covered 33,382 miles, representing a steady rate of use. The short-interval test in March 2024 at 62,256 miles followed by another test in August 2024 suggests the previous owner sought frequent verification of the vehicle's status rather than waiting for the annual requirement. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items typical for a SUV of this age. A buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these are often not flagged until they fail significantly. Given the mileage, examining the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring the calipers are not binding is prudent, although the record shows no evidence of such issues to date.
