MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Kia Sorento (RY04 UGV) between July 2007 and April 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 16 April 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (32 issues), Brakes (26 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 58 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural streng”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp does not illuminate (1.6 (a))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
