2019 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · FD68 VUC

This KIA Sorento presents a remarkably consistent and clean record of roadworthiness, having passed all five of its recorded MOT tests without a single defect or advisory ever being noted. The most recent examination on 2026-01-06 resulted in a clear pass, mirroring its performance in every preceding annual inspection. This unbroken sequence of clean passes indicates a stable and positive trend in its mechanical condition as assessed by the official test. With a recorded mileage of 30,907 over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged around 4,415 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. This usage pattern suggests lighter duty cycles or potentially periods of infrequent use, which generally results in less wear on components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain compared to a vehicle with higher mileage. The consistent annual MOT tests indicate regular presentation for inspection despite the lower usage, suggesting it has not been off the road for extended periods. Despite the consistently strong MOT history, a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains advisable for any used vehicle. Focus particular attention on items that may not always manifest as an MOT failure but can indicate wear, such as the condition of all suspension bushes for any perishing or play, and the integrity of brake pipes and fuel lines for any signs of corrosion or chafing. During a test drive, listen carefully for any knocks or creaks from the suspension over uneven surfaces, assess the feel of the brake pedal for sponginess or judder, and ensure the steering operates smoothly without excessive play or pulling. A visual check for any fluid leaks from the engine or transmission, and an assessment of the tyre tread depth and condition, including any signs of uneven wear, would also be prudent.
