2018 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · PH09 ALE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 48,514 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car remains in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes without advisories, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively and addressed any minor issues before they escalated. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average annual use, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 14,211 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. The single failure recorded in February 2024 at 38,836 miles appears to have been an isolated rectification as the vehicle passed that same day. This implies a minor fault, such as a bulb or minor component, that was corrected immediately rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. Given the clean nature of the MOT history, a buyer should focus on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage wear. Inspection of the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, for signs of cracking or perishation is advisable as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from material overaging. Checking the brake discs for surface corrosion is also relevant, as infrequent use can lead to rust buildup on the rotors. The record suggests a well-cared-for example that requires standard routine maintenance.
