2009 KIA Sorento 2.5L Diesel · FL59 XPW

The 2009 Kia Sorento presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 148,842 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history. The September 2023 pass at 136,208 miles, the September 2024 pass at 141,650 miles, and the September 2025 pass all show zero advisories or faults, indicating no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring workshop trends. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17 year old vehicle. The records show 136,208 miles in September 2023, 141,650 miles in September 2024, and 148,842 miles in September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,400 to 7,200 miles per year across the logged period, below the lifetime average of 8,755 miles per year. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps beyond the normal twelve month cycle and no rapid accumulation suggesting heavy commercial use. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag early rust. The MOT record shows no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers flagged at any test, so no component-specific concern is indicated by the data. The repeated fail and pass entries logged on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 at identical mileages suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejection, as no defects were recorded on either attempt. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Sorento to a standard that avoided advisory flags, though physical verification of exhaust emissions equipment and chassis condition remains prudent before purchase.
