2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · ML64 ABU

The 2025‑09‑05 MOT at 72,193 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The preceding test on 2024‑09‑13 at 64,097 miles also recorded a pass, with no advisories, indicating consistent upkeep since the 2023 failure was resolved. Mileage has risen from 32,914 miles in 2017 to 72,193 miles in 2025, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 12‑year‑old Kia Sorento. The jump from 60,992 miles in February 2021 to 63,229 miles in May 2022 reflects a modest increase, while the larger rise to 72,193 miles in September 2025 suggests regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion. The 2023 exhaust emission failure warrants a check of the catalytic converter and associated pipework, though subsequent passes imply the issue was corrected. Although the 2021 offside rear tyre was recorded as worn near the legal limit, a physical assessment of tread depth and sidewall condition is advisable.
