2021 KIA Sorento 3 Phev AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · AM51 MAH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT in May 2026 at 30,757 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the minor defect identified in the previous year was resolved. The absence of any defects in the last two tests suggests that the owner has proactively addressed concerns and maintained the vehicle to professional standards. The mileage profile is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. The progression from 18,183 miles in May 2024 to 25,798 miles in May 2025, and finally 30,757 miles in May 2026, shows steady, predictable usage. This relatively low annual mileage indicates reduced wear on heavy-duty components such as the suspension bushings and AWD drivetrain assembly compared to higher-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay regarding the oil leak flagged during the 2024 test. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive at the time, a visual check is necessary to ensure that seals or gaskets have not degraded further since. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that are driven infrequently can sit for longer periods and experience oxidation on metal surfaces.
