2021 KIA Sorento 3 HEV AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · YO21 ACZ

The 2021 Kia Sorento 3 HEV AWD Auto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 38,229 miles passed with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 24 July 2024 at 28,048 miles. Two consecutive annual tests show zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA inspection criteria. Mileage accumulation sits at a modest 7,646 miles per year against the vehicle's five-year age. The recorded odometer moved from 28,048 miles in July 2024 to 38,229 miles in July 2025, a 10,181-mile period increase that aligns with typical private-use patterns. The MOT history contains only two entries with no gaps beyond the standard twelve-month cycle, and the absence of any advisories across both tests gives no signal of deferred consumable replacement or hidden wear. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. Hybrid AWD drivetrains place specific load on rear axle suspension bushes and the electronic clutch coupling, neither of which a pass with no defects excludes from early degradation. Brake disc corrosion and caliper binding can develop on lower-mileage vehicles left standing, so the tester should measure disc runout and check for seized slides. Given the sparse two-entry history, the buyer cannot infer long-term owner care beyond the test dates themselves. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion around the subframe mounts and sills, verify tyre sidewall condition for perishing from low use, and confirm the 12-volt and hybrid battery health through live diagnostic data rather than MOT evidence alone.
