2015 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · TH02 DHH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in its maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 53,296 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. Since the failures in 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across two annual tests, suggesting consistent recent maintenance standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 4,845 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with an increase of roughly 6,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,900 miles prior. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle is left stationary for long periods between uses. A in-person inspection should focus on the rear suspension and braking system to ensure past repairs hold. The 2023 test at 42,314 miles flagged worn trailing arm bushes, pitted rear brake discs, and perished rear tyres. While these appear to have been rectified given the subsequent clean passes, a buyer should check for any remaining movement in the suspension geometry or signs of corrosion on the brake surfaces. Given the age and low mileage, checking the tyre sidewalls for dry- cracking is also essential, as rubber-related degradation often occurs regardless of tread depth.
