2010 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · EX60 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 76,897 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent results since a failure in August 2022, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any initial concerns and maintained the vehicle to a standard thereafter. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 5,476 miles, moving from 71,421 to 76,897 miles. This consistent, low-frequency usage suggests the drivetrain and engine have experienced minimal mechanical strain. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on common age points for low-mileage older vehicles. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, as rust progresses regardless of how often the car is driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and boots for cracking or perished, as these materials become brittle over two decades. Additionally, verify the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as low-use vehicles often allow surface rust to corrode the metal between applications.
