2019 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · V30 DJD

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 106,889 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating that mechanical and structural concerns identified in previous years were addressed. Since the issues flagged in 2022, the car has maintained a perfect record across three consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, such as the 15,654 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,120 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regular usage helps prevent long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber-based components and brake-related seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and structural points highlighted during the November 2022 test at 66,944 miles. The tester previously flagged both front upper control arm bushes and both lower rear spring mounts. While these were rectified to pass subsequent tests, an inspector should verify there is no new cracking in the rubber or accelerated corrosion on the spring mounting areas. Additionally, given the history of perishing rear tyres, a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure the rubber has not aged despite potentially having sufficient tread depth.
