2020 KIA Sorento 4 HEV AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · BC70 TYD

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes over the last three years. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test in November 2025 at 66,263 miles introduced the first recorded advisory. The nearside rear tyre was flagged as being worn close to the legal limit with heavy wear on the inner edge, indicating a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that requires attention to prevent further tyre degradation. The mileage progression is consistent with typical UK usage for a six-year-old hybrid SUV, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2023 test at 39,505 miles and the November 2024 test at 56,258 miles, the vehicle covered 16,753 miles, which represents a period of higher intensity. The subsequent interval of 10,005 miles between late 2024 and late 2025 shows a return to a more standard usage pattern without significant gaps. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry to address the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre. This wear pattern often stems from worn control arm bushes, faulty shocks, or incorrect camber. Given the lack of recorded defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests, the structural integrity and braking system appear to be well-maintained, but the remaining tread depth on all tyres should be verified to ensure they do not require immediate replacement.
