The KIA SORENTO (2012-15) 5DR SUV AWD 2.2 CRDI DPF 194 EU5 KX-1 6SPD is a spacious family SUV, offering a practical alternative to large estates and pricier premium 4x4s. Its raised driving position, roomy cabin and all-wheel drive suit family holidays and country journeys better than cramped city streets. mycarcheck.com records 211 checks covering 103 different VINs, a useful sample of cars shoppers have researched. Those vehicles averaged 84,000 miles and 8,000 miles a year, with about 1.8 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £7,300, giving buyers a reference point, not a guaranteed price for any individual Sorento.

Against the Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-Trail, the Sorento stands out for space and value. Check service history and condition carefully before buying.
