2016 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · PO66 YUG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on June 2, 2026, at 34,111 miles with zero recorded defects. This follows an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where recurring consumable issues were addressed. The clean report from the two most recent tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable tolerance parameters. The mileage profile is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-usage patterns, such as the 3,285 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 1,502 miles in the final interval. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension bushings, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion not captured by standard MOT tests. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres, as the record from 2023 and 2024 highlights repeated issues with perishing, cracking, and uneven wear on the front axle. While these appear to have been resolved, the low mileage increases the risk of dry rot due to age rather than tread depth. Attention should also be paid to the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation that can seize calipers over time.
