United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Kia Sorento page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.
Kia Sorento MOT reliability
In 2025, 71.3% of Kia Sorento MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 73.4% of the time, so the Kia Sorento does worse than average for its age, by 2.1 points.

- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “SORENTO TITAN CRDI”, “SORENTO TITAN CRDI AUTO”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
