Description
Overview:
Owned for 2 years and it hasn't missed a beat. This is a dependable, go-anywhere 2.5L diesel with a smooth automatic gearbox. It starts first time, every time, and has been a fantastic, reliable companion. Selling as I am cutting down from two cars to one. MOT until April. Priced to reflect the known issues listed below.
Car will be SORN to make way for a new vehicle. It is currently kept on a private driveway, so it can be seen running and moving, but cannot be test-driven on the road. Buyer will need to tax/insure or trailer the vehicle away.
The Essentials:
Drivetrain: Fully functional 4WD (excellent for winter/off-road).
Towing: Fitted with a tow bar; highly capable towing vehicle.
Maintenance: Serviced annually under my ownership. Total of 14 services on record (including 2 DIY). Most recent professional garage service: June 2025.
Ownership: V5C present in my name. Comes with 2 keys.
Recent Work & Condition:
Chassis Health: Just had the rear sills welded addressing the common Sorento weak spot. The chassis is now solid for the future.
Tyres: Rear tyres have excellent tread.
Engine & Box: Engine runs perfectly and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly with no issues.
Points to Note (Priced Accordingly):
Power Steering: Occasionally feels heavy on cold starts; usually clears immediately by restarting the engine. Fluid levels are correct.
Interior/Electrics: Driver's seatbelt warning light is intermittent (even when buckled).
Cosmetics: Bodywork has age-related wear and tear (see photos). Note: The weld repairs behind the rear doors are visible; they are functional and solid, rather than a "showroom" cosmetic finish.
A very honest, capable 4x4 that's ready to get straight to work. Viewings welcome.
