2015 KIA Sorento 2.2L Diesel · YAZ 8078

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean mechanical record, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 113,691 miles without a single defect or advisory notice. This consistent performance over the last five years indicates a stable and well-maintained state, suggesting the previous owner prioritised preventative care and addressed potential issues before they reached the point of test failure. The absence of any recorded faults across five consecutive annual inspections is a strong indicator of reliable mechanical health. The recorded mileage of 113,691 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages approximately 10,336 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles between annual tests, confirming the car has seen regular, consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. This steady operational history is generally preferable to low-mileage vehicles that may suffer from the effects of prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components not fully scrutinised by the MOT test, specifically the condition of the transmission and the engine’s auxiliary drive belts. Given the mileage, verify that the service history includes documented oil changes and timing chain or belt replacements according to the manufacturer schedule, as the MOT only confirms roadworthiness at the time of the test. While the suspension and braking systems have remained free of defects, inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or weeping shock absorbers that might not yet have triggered a formal failure but could require attention in the near future.
