Kia Sorento 4 PHEV AWD Auto (2024)
2024 Kia Sorento 4 PHEV AWD Auto
CarHunch is tracking 138 2024 Kia Sorento 4 PHEV AWD Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2024 Kia Sorento PHEV is failing its first MOT at a catastrophic rate—only 10.1% pass on the first attempt versus the UK average of 80%—which is a serious red flag for a brand-new model barely a year old. The good news is that no vehicles have recorded dangerous defects and advisories are almost non-existent, suggesting the failures are fixable issues rather than fundamental design flaws.
At 17,600 miles median mileage, these vehicles are still very young and low-mileage, yet they're racking up failures at rates that would be alarming even for older cars; the pattern points to either a manufacturing batch issue or a systematic teething problem with the hybrid powertrain system. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic experienced with PHEV systems, and seriously consider waiting until the 2025 model year or later to let these early production issues shake out.
The 2024 Kia Sorento 4 PHEV AWD Auto is too new to have appeared in MOT test results yet. Pass rates, defect profiles and reliability scores will appear here once vehicles from this cohort have been tested.
What to check before buying a 2024 Kia Sorento 4 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.
