2021 KIA Sorento 3 Phev AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · BV71 KNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on 08 May 2026 at 56,292 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure in March 2026 indicates a lapse in basic electrical inspections. While the tester flagged multiple lighting defects, including the offside front lamps and both fog lamps, the subsequent pass just two months later suggests these minor electrical issues were addressed immediately by the owner. At 56,292 miles over five years, the Sorento averages approximately 11,258 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a large PHEV SUV. The mileage progression shows consistent use patterns, with 11,651 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 4,549 miles in the following seven months. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for battery health and rubber component integrity. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the rear tyres, as the October 2025 test at 51,793 miles identified both as nearing the legal limit with edge wear. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be checked to prevent premature tyre degradation. Given the recent lighting failures in March 2026, a thorough check of the bulb housings and wiring is advised to ensure no moisture ingress or corrosion is causing intermittent light intensity issues.
