2017 KIA Optima 1.7L Diesel · CV67 CKA

The 2017 Kia Optima presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 87,646 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show no advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Annual mileage averages 9,738 across the recorded life, which is typical for a nine-year-old car. The records show 46,119 miles at the 27 June 2022 test, rising to 59,828 by 28 June 2023, 74,787 by 24 June 2024, and 87,646 by 12 June 2025. The yearly increments sit between 12,700 and 14,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on faults: a failed entry on 24 June 2024 at 74,787 miles carries no recorded defect, with a pass logged the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity loss across the five tests. Prior owners appear to have maintained the Optima to test standard without lapse. The absence of tyre, wiper, or consumable advisories implies either prompt pre-test rectification or genuinely sound condition at each June appointment.
