2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · N55 MAP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history, having passed its most recent test on 30 April 2026. While the vehicle remains compliant, the record indicates a recurring pattern of brake disc wear. The tester flagged the offside front brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored during the 2026 inspection at 108,178 miles. This follows a similar issue in the 2023 test at 87,880 miles, where both nearside and offside front brake discs were noted as pitted or scored on the inner faces. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 84,508 miles in April 2022 to the current 108,178 miles in April 2026. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-usage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front-end consumables. The repeated advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs suggest that while the discs are not currently structurally weakened, they are reaching the end of their service life. You should check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers to ensure no binding is occurring. The 2022 record also noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the inner edges, so a thorough check of the current tyre tread and any uneven wear patterns is necessary to rule out underlying suspension or wheel alignment issues.
