2019 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · LR69 XFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on November 27, 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the failure on that same day indicates a lapse in pre-inspection checks. The tester flagged an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp and insufficient windscreen washer fluid, both of which were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT-related defects once they are formally identified. At 46,438 miles over seven years, the Sorento averages approximately 6,600 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with low-to-moderate driving for a family SUV. The mileage progression is steady, with roughly 9,200 miles covered between October 2022 and December 2023, and another 8,500 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. Such consistent use generally implies that mechanical components, such as the drivetrain and suspension, should still be within expected wear limits compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine management system to ensure the MIL failure recorded in late 2025 was a simple fix rather than a recurring sensor fault or wiring issue. The December 2024 advisory noted that engine covers and under trays were obscuring components, which can sometimes hide early signs of oil leaks or surface corrosion on the chassis. Given the 2022 advisories regarding tyre damage and low tread depth, a physical check of the current tyre set and brake disc dehalls is necessary to ensure no deferred maintenance has occurred since the last test.
