2014 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · VO14 XKZ

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 121,104 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This suggest that any mechanical issues identified during the previous inspection were immediately rectified by the owner. The clean sheet from the latest MOT indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The car covered 11,216 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 10,060 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This indicates regular annual use which is generally beneficial for vehicle components as it prevents seals from drying out and brakes from seizing. The intervals between tests remain consistent, showing the owner adhered to the annual inspection schedule. While the record shows recent clean passes, the failures in February 2024 and February 2026 warrant closer scrutiny of the under-carriage. Since the specific defects for those failures were not detailed in the summary, a buyer must physically inspect for signs of wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms. Given the age and mileage of this Sorento, checking for corrosion on the exhaust system and the integrity of the brake lines is essential. The condition of the brake calipers and the thickness of the discs will determine if the recent clean passes were merely masking underlying mechanical issues.
