2015 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · NR02 AJB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 26 February 2026 at 134,408 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable over the last three years, despite an anomalous failure just nine days prior to that pass at 134,219 miles. Because that failure recorded no specific defects, it likely represents an administrative error or a re-test discrepancy that was rectified immediately rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Since February 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or failures on the MOT. At 11 years old, the 134,408 miles recorded represent a high annual average of approximately 12,200 miles. The data shows consistent usage, with intervals of roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles covered between each annual test from 2023 through 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular motorway commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which often benefits engine health and seals. The consistent mileage pattern indicates a predictable environment where components are subjected to standard wear rather than the sudden stress associated with long-term neglect. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage on a heavy SUV necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the load-bearing components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension for worn control arm bushes and leaking shock absorber dampers, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Given the mileage, checking for thinning brake discs and seized calipers is essential to ensure braking performance remains consistent. Although the record shows no structural advisories, a visual check of the underbody and mounting points is required to confirm that corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
