2015 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · AD54 AES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 at 150,790 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, as all subsequent tests from 2023 to 2026 have passed without issues. However, a failed test on 2024-03-19 at 135,903 miles—recorded the day before a pass at the same mileage—suggests potential administrative or procedural anomalies. No defects were noted in any test, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 150,790 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 13,708 miles annually, which is high for its age. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 10-month interval between the 2023-03-17 test (127,943 miles) and the 2024-03-19 test (135,903 miles), during which 7,960 miles were added. Subsequent annual tests show steady mileage progression, with 7,083 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 7,804 miles between 2025 and 2026. This pattern suggests regular use but no significant irregularities in maintenance intervals. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly given the high mileage, as bushings and coil springs may show fatigue. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, though no issues were flagged in the record. The failed 2024 test, despite no recorded defects, warrants scrutiny to confirm whether any unresolved issues were addressed. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are common concerns for older vehicles with elevated mileage.
