2017 KIA Optima 1.7L Diesel · CE17 XSD

The 2025‑09‑13 MOT at 114,491 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. Since the 2022‑09‑12 test at 86,052 miles, each subsequent test has produced a clean result, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory reveals a steep increase for a nine‑year‑old Kia Optima. From 86,052 miles in September 2022 the odometer rose to 94,600 miles by August 2023, a gain of 8,548 miles in eleven months, and continued climbing to 106,392 miles in September 2024 and 114,491 miles in September 2025. This pattern of rapid accumulation, averaging over 12,700 miles per year, suggests heavy use and greater exposure to wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, check for binding rear brakes or worn brake discs, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall wear, and inspect the chassis for rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system and emission levels also merit close attention, as high mileage can accelerate corrosion and component fatigue. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures, a physical inspection of these areas will verify whether the vehicle’s wear patterns align with its mileage and age.
