Our Verdict
A solid purchase recommendation for those seeking a modern, low-mileage SUV. While there are some minor maintenance items to address, the overall history is clean and the mileage is impressively low.
When viewing this Sorento, your primary focus should be on the recent MOT advisories. The most recent test in February 2026 noted that both front and rear brake pads are wearing thin; you should negotiate a reduction in price or ask the seller to have these replaced before sale.
Additionally, check the service history to ensure the 2.2L diesel engine has been maintained according to KIA's schedule, as these engines rely on regular oil changes to maintain efficiency and longevity. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of 'age-related' wear, such as perished rubber seals or minor tyre cracking, which appeared in previous MOT tests.
As a 2.2L diesel, this Sorento is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though its size means urban fuel economy will be lower. Being Euro 6 compliant, it is ULEZ and CAZ compliant, saving you from daily charges in most UK cities.
Expect a mid-range insurance group typical for a large family SUV. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for upcoming brake pad replacements and potential tyre changes soon. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, sit around £1,400-£1,700 depending on your annual mileage.
Start by inspecting the braking system; the February 2026 MOT specifically flagged thin pads on both axles. Ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking, which could indicate warped discs alongside the worn pads.
Secondly, look closely at the tyres. The vehicle has a history of tyre-related advisories, including cuts and edge wear. Check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear, which could indicate the suspension arm bush issues noted in the 2024 MOT test. Finally, check the underside for any signs of corrosion, though the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been kept in good structural condition.
This 2019 Grey KIA Sorento is a well-maintained example with significantly below-average mileage for its age, having covered only 41,907 miles in roughly seven years. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with only minor advisories related to wear and tear, such as tyres and brake pads. It represents a strong value proposition for families needing a reliable diesel SUV.
While specific aggregate data for this exact year is unavailable, the KIA Sorento generally carries a strong reputation for reliability and long-term durability.
