Kia Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto (2022)
2022 Kia Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto
CarHunch analysed 260 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Kia Sorento 2 HEV is a strong performer on the MOT with a 91.1% first-time pass rate, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 3.9% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—low enough that it shouldn't factor into a buying decision. The hybrid powertrain appears reliable in these early years, with an average of just 0.12 failures per vehicle.
At 27,700 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used for their age, which naturally inflates the pass rate somewhat. The low failure count (0.12 per car) combined with modest advisory issues (0.6 per car) suggests the Sorento's hybrid system and running gear are holding up well, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on brake fluid condition and battery health rather than expecting major mechanical surprises.
What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Sorento 2 HEV AWD Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
