2016 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · HT16 FCF

The 2016 Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 71,247 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,125 miles per year against the vehicle's ten-year age, a typical use profile for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 48,994 miles at the June 2022 tests, 59,385 in June 2023, 66,652 in June 2024, and 71,247 by June 2025. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry on 28 June 2022 where the car failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, likely an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given these components degrade with age even without MOT advisories. The absence of corrosion or structural flags in the history is reassuring, but ten-year-old vehicles commonly develop underbody rust unseen by annual testing. Prior owners clearly kept the Sorento to a disciplined service and test schedule. No recurring defects or worsening patterns emerge from the data, so the principal risk lies in age-related wear not yet surfaced by DVSA testing.
