Tyres — 14.7% of failures
Tyres issues account for 14.7% of MOT failures on the Kia Sorento Vision Phev Awd Auto.

Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Suspension — 2.9% of failures

Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
