KIA CARENS2017 · 1.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 at 57,304 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the results of the four preceding tests. This consistent performance suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively and addressed any mechanical or safety concerns before they reached failure status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2022 at 23,015 miles and May 2023 at 40,233 miles, indicating a period of higher usage involving over 17,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has returned to a more regular interval of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per annum. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. Because the MOT history shows no recurring issues with structural corrosion or binding brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on consumable items that are not captured by the tester. A buyer should verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and bushings, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from perished rubber over age. Checking the brake discs for pitting and ensuring the tyre depth is uniform is also essential, given that the record does not flag any previous advisories.
