2017 KIA Optima 1.7L Diesel · C19 JDD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 92,252 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition. This trend of zero failures suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive service schedule and addressed potential issues before they reached the level of a test failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,250 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 39,933 miles and March 2025 at 75,434 miles, the car covered 35,501 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The more recent interval of 16,818 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that the vehicle remains in regular use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components that can deteriorate when stationary, such as rubber seals and brake de-rusting. While the digital record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes or brake calipers, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear items common at the 90,000-mile threshold. Focus on the condition of the shock absorbers and control arm bushings, which often show of fatigue at this mileage. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion in the history, the underbody appears sound, but checking the exhaust system for any developing surface rust remains a standard professional precaution.
