2017 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · DG67 EZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 72,186 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from reactive repairs in earlier years to a clean test sheet most recently. The lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or that the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable safety parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 34,109 miles and August 2025 at 72,186 miles, the Sorento covered 38,000 miles, indicating regular and predictable use. This steady accumulation reduces the likelihood of perish rot associated with long periods of standing, though it places standard demand on wear components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside rear shock absorber, which was flagged for oil misting during the 2024 test at 61,901 miles. While this did not result in a failure, misting indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. Additionally, the history shows a pattern of brake wear, with front pads nearing limits in 2021 and worn discs noted in 2023. Checking the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs is essential to ensure the owner has followed up with necessary servicing after those flagged issues.
