2017 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · CV67 KDX

The 2017 Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 58,143 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 24 September 2024 at 48,483 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 58,143 against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 6,460 miles per year and reflecting typical private-use accumulation. The DVSA entries trace a steady climb: 29,655 miles on 22 September 2022, 41,644 on 25 September 2023, 48,483 on 24 September 2024, and 58,143 on 29 September 2025. No rapid jumps or dormant gaps appear. One anomaly stands out: the car failed on 23 September 2024 at 48,483 miles yet passed one day later at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a genuine repair. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across all five tests, the structural and mechanical integrity looks sound on paper. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody condition and brake component wear, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient fatigue. The low annual mileage implies lighter duty, but standing periods can accelerate rubber perishing and surface rust unseen by the tester. Verify service history matches the odometer and check tyre sidewall dates before purchase.
