2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · FH14 XTA

The 2014 Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 75,991 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required rectification work within the recorded inspection window. Annual mileage has stayed close to typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 48,571 miles in August 2021, rising to 54,385 by August 2022, 61,808 by August 2023, 69,141 by August 2024, and 75,991 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 6,300 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse in faults but clean throughout, showing consistent use rather than long dormant periods that often precipitate seized calipers or perished rubber. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition despite the absent advisories. Twelve years of service can conceal minor corrosion to structural members and subframes not yet at test-threshold levels. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet it offers no evidence on consumable life remaining for tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions components. Given the fault-free history and steady 6,333 miles-per-year average, the Sorento shows no warning signs of worsening mechanical risk. Verify in person that underside protection has suppressed rust and that the drivetrain shows no undue gearbox or differential wear for the recorded distance.
