AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 KIA SORENTO remains roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 16 April 2025 at 91,713 miles. All recorded tests—2025‑04‑16, 2024‑04‑23, 2023‑05‑04 and 2022‑04‑20—passed with no defects noted, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring faults appear in the official record, and the vehicle has not suffered any recorded failures. The mileage progression is steady. From 73,871 miles in April 2022 to 80,499 miles in May 2023, the car logged 6,628 miles in a year. The next year saw 5,964 miles, and the following year 5,250 miles. This regular accumulation suggests consistent use without sudden spikes or long idle periods. The data set is complete and clean, with no gaps that would raise concern about missed servicing. A prospective buyer should still perform a hands‑on check of the usual consumables and key mechanical components. Inspect tyre tread depth, brake pad wear, and the condition of the brake discs. Verify that the suspension bushings and shock absorbers are free from excessive play or cracking. Examine the steering linkage for smooth operation and any play in the steering wheel. Check the undercarriage and wheel arches for corrosion, especially around the wheel hubs and brake calipers. Confirm that the exhaust system is intact and that there is no evidence of leaks or rust. Finally, review the battery condition, coolant level, and oil quality, as these are not captured in the MOT record but are critical for reliable operation.
