2015 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · SY15 PYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 33,843 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of mechanical neglect in early 2025. While the 2025 test revealed multiple brake-related failures, the clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that these faults were addressed by the previous owner prior to the current date. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Kia SUV, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent but minimal usage, moving from 27,898 miles in April 2023 to 33,843 miles in April 2026. However, such low mileage often leads to specific degradation of components that rely on regular movement to stay lubricated and clear. This is evidenced by the 2025 record, which flagged pitting and scoring on all brake discs along with binding on the offside front caliper, common symptoms of a vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the issues noted in April 2025 have been fully rectified rather than merely masked. Check for even pad wear across all rotors and verify that the calipers are sliding freely without the previously noted binding. Given low mileage, also inspect the rubber components of the suspension and tyres for dry rot or cracking, as these materials age faster than they wear out through use. The rear registration plate was previously noted as deteriorated in 2024 and 2025, so ensure it has been replaced with a clear, legal unit.
