2021 KIA Sorento 2 Phev AWD Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · SL71 CKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 50,849 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure recorded on that date concerned a minor consumable item—a nearside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords. This was rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass, indicating that no underlying mechanical or structural defects were identified during the inspection process. The recorded mileage of 50,849 miles over five years represents an average of approximately 10,170 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a family SUV of this age. Between the September 2024 test at 39,026 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 11,823 miles. This consistent annual accumulation suggests the car has been subjected to regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seal integrity and the hybrid drivetrain. An in-person inspection should focus on the nearside front tyre to ensure the replacement was carried out correctly and that no hidden rim damage remains. Since the 2024 test noted restricted access due to child seats, the buyer should verify that all seatting mechanisms and belt buckles are free from unusual wear or fraying. Given the mileage and age, a standard check of the suspension bushes and brake pad thickness for uneven wear is advisable, though the MOT history provides no evidence of recurring issues to suggest the vehicle is anything but in functional condition.
