2014 KIA Sorento KX-2 Crdi 4X4 Auto 2.2L Diesel · UNZ 1420

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 June 2025 at 143,701 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets minimum legal standards. This follows a failure in February 2025 at 138,865 miles which notably listed no defects, suggesting either an administrative error or a non-mechanical test failure that was rectified immediately prior to the successful re-test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a large SUV of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2019 test at 70,378 miles and the February 2022 test at 92,550 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 22,000 miles, showing a steady pace. The more recent jump of 28,701 miles between June 2023 and June 2025 maintains this pattern. This consistent mileage suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for keeping drivetrain components and seals lubricated compared to long periods ofກັບ. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or mechanical faults, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension geometry, including control arm bushes and coil springs, which often perish on Sorentos of this era. Given the 4x4 configuration, checking the transfer case for leaks and ensuring the rear differential operates smoothly is essential. The brake system should also be checked for thinning discs or caliper binding, as the record does not detail the physical state of these consumables between tests.
