2021 KIA Sorento 2.5L Petrol · AE70 EVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of minor neglect. The most recent test conducted in December 2024 at 45,672 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a slightly distorted offside front road wheel outer edge. This indicates that while the vehicle had previously reached a point of failure, the owner has maintained a consistent level of mechanical upkeep since resolving the defects recorded in earlier years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. Between the December 2022 test at 22,905 miles and the December 2023 test at 31,839 miles, the vehicle covered 8,934 miles, followed by another 13,833 miles leading into the most recent inspection. This steady accumulation suggests that the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components remains within expected parameters for a five-year-old vehicle. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the offside front wheel to ensure the recorded distortion has not caused vibrations or uneven wear on the wheel bearing. The failure in December 2022 regarding incorrect indicator colours and missing fog lamp components suggests a previous lapse in attention to minor electrical defects, so verifying that all exterior lighting and switches are currently functional and original is essential. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical failures have appeared in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of consumables like tyres and the integrity of the suspension bushes.
