Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the very low annual mileage, you should carefully review the service history to ensure the engine has been serviced according to time intervals rather than just mileage. Diesel engines used for short distances can be prone to carbon buildup, so look for evidence of regular oil changes.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres and brakes; while the MOT is clean, low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from tyre perishing or brake disc corrosion due to inactivity. Ensure all documentation for the shock absorber replacement in 2023 is available to confirm the work was carried out to a professional standard.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though it will attract a higher road tax bracket than smaller engines. Insurance costs will be typical for a large family SUV of this engine capacity.
Maintenance costs should remain standard for a Kia of this age, provided the low mileage has not led to neglect. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, including fuel filter changes and periodic oil services.
Specifically inspect the rear suspension and shock absorbers to ensure there are no new leaks, referencing the 'serious fluid leak' found on the offside rear in May 2023. Check the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the nearside rear where a cut and nail caused a previous failure.
Additionally, check for any signs of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues. Because this vehicle has averaged fewer than 5,000 miles per year, it may not have reached the temperatures necessary to regenerate the filter frequently, which can be a common point of failure for low-mileage Euro 6 diesels.
This black 2019 Kia Sorento 2.2 diesel has covered only 29,794 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. While it recorded one failure in May 2023 related to a tyre and a shock absorber, it has since passed three consecutive MOT tests with no defects recorded. This suggests a vehicle that has been used sparingly over the last seven years.
Aggregate reliability data is not available for this model, but this specific vehicle's history shows a high pass rate since 2023.
