MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Kia Sorento (SL12 LFH) between March 2015 and August 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 07 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (21 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Nearside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
