2022 KIA Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · MF22 XAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 34,594 miles passed, it flagged a significant number of advisories regarding consumable components. The presence of all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of edge wear suggests that the previous owner neglected basic routine maintenance until prompted by the MOT tester or potential failure. At four years old with 34,594 recorded miles, the Sorento reflects an average of approximately 8,650 miles per year. This aligns with typical annual usage for a family SUV. The data shows a period of high activity between March 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered over 7,500 miles in eleven months. The failure in February 2025 at 27,015 miles due to seat belt buckle issues in the third row indicates that interior safety checks were overlooked until the official inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the alignment and suspension components, as the consistent edge wear on all four tyres noted in the 2026 test often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. The recurring windscreen damage across multiple tests should be checked for chips that could propagate into cracks, despite not currently affecting the driver's view. Furthermore, verify that the third-row seat belt buckles have been replaced or repaired correctly following the 2025 failure to ensure the seven-seat configuration is safe for all passengers.
