2017 KIA Sorento KX-1 Crdi ISG 4X4 2.2L Heavy oil · MW17 AEK

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend and a stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 71,646 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2020, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition without the recurring faults often seen in high-mileage SUVs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. Between the December 2021 test at 36,269 miles and the March 2024 test at 56,466 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles over two years. The most recent interval saw an increase of 15,180 miles over two years, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of any advisories across several years of testing is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners. No issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions have been flagged. The record shows no evidence of the structural rust or binding calipers that frequently affect 4x4 models of this age. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they remain within legal limits. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these are consumables that will naturally degrade regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean structural record provided by the DVSA.
