2013 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · ND63 PFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on July 2, 2025 at 107,166 miles. While the history shows technical failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent inspections recorded no defects or advisories. This pattern suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults identified during the testing process rather than allowing a trend of mechanical degradation or structural neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,244 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 87,116 miles and the July 2024 test at 97,326 miles, the car covered 10,210 miles, followed by another 9,840 miles in the year leading to July 2025. This steady usage indicates regular operation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components to prevent the seizing or corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history lacks specific recorded advisories or recurring mechanical failure points, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Sorento wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Prioritize a check for structural corrosion on the subframe and trailing arms, as these are prone to rust over time. Given the mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check for signs of leaking from the shock absorbers, as these components are the most likely to require attention despite a clean test record.
