2019 KIA Optima 1.6L Diesel · DA19 VOY

The 2019 Kia Optima presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 136,387 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The records show a clean test profile once minor administrative failures are set aside. Mileage stands at 136,387 against a seven-year age, equating to roughly 19,484 miles per year and placing this car well above typical private-use averages. The jump from 106,654 miles on 8 February 2024 to 113,687 miles by 17 November 2024 shows moderate accumulation, then a larger 22,700-mile gain to the November 2025 test. The DVSA entries are sparse, with only five tests logged, and all passed or failed without recorded defects, so the data gives little insight into consumable wear patterns. The February 2024 failure at 106,633 miles and the November 2025 failure at 136,387 miles both list no defects, indicating these were likely administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical rejects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the high annual mileage. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be physically checked, as the MOT record offers no advisory trail to confirm those areas were examined in depth. Prior owners ran the car at high distance but kept it through MOT standards without recorded faults. That suggests basic statutory compliance rather than proactive component renewal. Verify service history against the 30,000-mile gaps between tests to confirm drivetrain and brake maintenance kept pace with use.
