Kia Sorento 3 PHEV AWD Auto (2022)
2022 Kia Sorento 3 PHEV AWD Auto
CarHunch analysed 151 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Sorento 3 PHEV AWD Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV is a strong performer, with an 89.8% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 5.3% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuringly low figure. The low failure rate of just 0.17 per vehicle suggests these cars are holding up mechanically.
At an average mileage of 42,465 miles for a two-year-old vehicle, these Sorentos are being driven normally, and the single advisory per car on average points to minor wear rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should still cover the hybrid system components, as these add complexity that general MOT data doesn't fully capture.
What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Sorento 3 PHEV 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.
