2018 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · LD67 WPK

The 2018 Kia Sorento presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 February 2026 at 53,820 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2024 through February 2025 also passed clean. The single failure on 24 January 2024 at 42,442 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing two days later at 42,446 miles, indicating a clerical or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,728 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 42,446 miles in January 2024, 48,793 and 48,910 miles across January and February 2025, and 53,820 miles by February 2026. No rapid surges or prolonged standing gaps appear. The clean advisory history across all tests suggests the previous owner kept consumables and core systems within tolerance, though the sparse defect data limits deeper wear inference. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual use can mask corrosion or seized components from idle periods. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions and structural integrity is reassuring, but testers record only visible faults at the time. Verify the January 2024 failure cause with DVSA, as a no-defect fail often signals a documentation error needing confirmation before purchase.
