2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · KW63 UDP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 February 2026 at 75,982 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. While the record shows immediate retests following initial failures on both 23 January 2025 and 2 February 2026, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural oversights rather than mechanical failures. The lack of any advisories over the past three years points to a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring patterns of component degradation or neglect. The recorded mileage of 75,982 over a twelve-year lifespan averages approximately 6,332 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected range for a vehicle of this type. Consistent annual testing dates from January 2024 through February 2026 demonstrate a predictable usage pattern without significant periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of mileage is generally preferable to long-term storage, as it suggests the drivetrain, seals, and suspension components have remained in regular operation rather than suffering from the corrosion or fluid degradation often associated with prolonged standing. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and suspension components, as the MOT record does not account for non-testable items like clutch wear or engine oil leaks. Although the history is remarkably clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are consumable items that may not have been flagged during the test but could require replacement in the near future. The overall history implies a well-cared-for vehicle, yet a proactive assessment of these mechanical wear items remains essential for long-term reliability.
