2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · SM58 PAP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing results. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 June 2025 at 118,366 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum road safety standards. This follows a trend of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the mechanical integrity of the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring structural failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 13,005 miles, reflecting a steady usage profile rather than long periods of forced storage. A brief failure occurred on 26 June 2024 at 114,481 miles, which was rectified just the following day at 114,483 miles. This rapid turnaround suggests a minor consumable failure, such as a blown bulb or a minor lighting component, which was addressed immediately rather than indicating a deep mechanical fault. While the history is clean of advisories, a buyer should still inspect the high-wear areas typical of this age and mileage. At over 118,000 miles, the suspension control arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for cracking or leaks, as the weight of the Sorent accelerates wear on these components. You should also look for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as MOT tests only check for structural integrity once rust reaches a significant depth, and they do not flag early surface oxidation.
