2016 KIA Optima 1.7L Diesel · A2 FMH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 February 2026 at 55,710 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance profile where the previous owners have successfully maintained the vehicle to meet regulatory standards without allowing mechanical or structural issues to accumulate over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 49,690 miles and February 2026 at 55,710 miles, the car covered 6,020 miles, showing a consistent low-usage usage profile. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on items susceptible to low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for dry cracking on tyre sidewalls and the condition of rubber seals, which can perish regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the integrity of the underbody for surface corrosion remains a priority, although the official history provides no indication of structural concern to date.
