2021 KIA Sorento 2 Phev AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GF71 VTP

The vehicle currently holds a passing rating on the 2026-01-26 test, indicating that the MOT record is recent and the mechanical condition remains sound, though the 2025-11-10 test suggests a potential trend of maintenance lapses. The most recent passing occurred at 45,154 miles, which aligns with the vehicle's age of approximately 5 years, placing the mileage context well within typical expectations for a 2021 model. The 2025-11-10 test at 43,146 miles confirms that the vehicle has maintained a consistent pattern of passing, with no defects recorded between the 2025-11 and 2026-01 tests. This stability suggests that the vehicle has not experienced a sudden, catastrophic failure that would cause a significant drop in rating, although the gap between the two most recent tests indicates that the vehicle may have been underutilized or driven less frequently than usual since the 2025-11 test. To ensure the vehicle meets safety standards, a buyer should inspect the 2025-11-10 test for any signs of binding calipers, worn suspension bushings, or structural corrosion, as these components are critical for roadworthiness. Failing on a MOT at 43,146 miles would typically indicate a need for immediate service, but the fact that the vehicle passed at 45,154 miles suggests that the mechanical condition has remained acceptable despite the observed gaps in the 2025-11 to 2026-01 test.
