2018 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · FL06 AME

The 2018 Kia Sorrento presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 55,047 miles. With zero defects recorded across the entire inspection history, the vehicle demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity. This unblemished record suggests a fastidious approach to preventative maintenance, with no recurring faults or advisories requiring attention. The powertrain, braking system, and structural components have met DVSA standards without deviation over the last four years. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,881 miles annually. The progression shows a steady climb from 33,010 miles in April 2022 to 55,047 miles in March 2026. A slight uptick occurred between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer advanced by 8,878 miles, before settling back to a more moderate annual increment of around 5,000 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in the recorded distance, indicating regular, continuous use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age and mileage. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure until severely degraded. Examine the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has spent time standing. Check the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion and inspect the underbody and wheel arches for structural rust. While the electronic systems and emissions have passed without issue, verifying the condition of the tyres and wiper blades will confirm whether routine consumable upkeep matches the mechanical care evidenced by the test history.
