2021 KIA Sorento 2 Phev AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · LB21 KXL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 06 June 2026 at 81,092 miles resulted in zero defects, maintaining a perfect pass record across the previous five inspections. This consistency suggests a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has operated without developing any significant mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger advisories or failures. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per annum. A notable spike in usage is visible between the March 2025 test at 55,890 miles and the June 2026 test at 81,092 miles, representing over 25,000 miles covered in just fifteen months. Conversely, the cluster of three tests between October and December 2025 shows only 323 miles driven, which suggests the vehicle may have been stationary or held for sale with limited use during that specific period. Given the high annual mileage, an in-person inspection should focus on components subjected to high-frequency wear. The buyer should prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre profiles, as the heavy weight of a PHEV SUV accelerates degradation in these areas. While the MOT record shows no historical binding calipers or brake issues, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of brake disc thickness and pad wear to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
