2009 KIA Sorento 2.5L Diesel · BK06 MOO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its successful MOT test on 19 January 2026 at 102,492 miles. The maintenance trend indicates consistent compliance, as the car has passed its inspections immediately following minor failures in previous years. The failures in January 2025 and January 2026 resulted in no recorded defects, suggesting these were likely minor items such as blown light bulbs or minor adjustments that were addressed promptly to secure a passing result. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,492 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,000 miles. This low rate of accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 5,000 miles covered between January 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests regular use rather than long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related degradation despite the clean MOT history. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is essential. The suspension system should be checked for perished bushes and worn coil springs, as these components often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for signs of binding or corrosion, which frequently occurs on vehicles with lower annual mileage.
