2016 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · EO16 CKP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2026 at 60,948 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024, 2024, and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they became failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 27,459 miles, which represents a steady usage profile. The gap between the February 2023 test and the April 2024 test shows a slight irregularity in testing intervals, but the overall accumulation remains low. This low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on heavy drivetrain components, engine, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Given the vehicle's age, check for early signs of corrosion on the structural sills and exhaust system, as moisture can settle even with low usage. The failure recorded back in February 2023 at 33,489 miles was rectified immediately to allow a pass that same day, but verifying the current condition of suspension components and the state of brake calipers remains wise to ensure no new-rot has developed during periods of standing.
