2019 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · SW19 HNP

The 2019 Kia Sorrento presents a stable but wear-prone maintenance profile, most recently passing its MOT on 9 May 2026 at 64,685 miles with only minor advisories. The tester flagged a nail in the nearside rear tyre and a slightly noisy nearside front wheel bearing, both low-severity items. No dangerous or major failures have appeared in the last three years, suggesting the powertrain and structural integrity remain sound. The trend is broadly stable rather than improving, as brake and tyre wear advisories recur consistently across successive tests. The mileage progression is linear and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. From 41,679 miles on 6 April 2023 to 49,166 miles on 3 April 2024, the car covered roughly 7,487 miles in twelve months. It then added 6,675 miles by 24 March 2025, and a further 8,844 miles by 9 May 2026. This equates to approximately 9,200 miles per year, consistent with typical family SUV use. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record, and the annual test intervals align with the mileage accumulation. Brake system wear is the dominant recurring theme. Front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in every test from April 2023 through March 2025, and rear brake discs joined that advisory in the April 2024 failure. Service brake fluctuation appeared on both axles during that same failure, indicating uneven pad deposition or disc runout at the time. Although the May 2026 test cleared the brakes without comment, a buyer should still inspect disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper slide pins before purchase, as the history suggests the braking system works hard and may be approaching another replacement cycle. Tyre condition and minor chassis items also warrant attention. The car has repeatedly presented with tyres worn close to the legal limit or perishing on the rear axle, most recently with a puncture in the nearside rear. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing in the latest test could signal early hub wear, so a road test over a rough surface is advisable. No structural corrosion, suspension faults, or emissions failures appear on record, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
