2017 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · DP66 EBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 65,526 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure recorded in that session involved a headlamp aim that was too low, a minor adjustment rectified before the subsequent pass. There are no indications of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion in the recent history, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard. At 65,526 miles over nine years, the Careans has averaged approximately 7,280 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family-oriented MPV. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 6,600 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals often seen in low-use vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition based on historical data. The tester flagged thin brake pads in 2022 at 41,945 miles and again in 2023 at 50,070 miles, indicating a standard wear rate that requires a physical inspection of the current thickness and the condition of the discs. Furthermore, the November 2024 test noted all four tyres were near the legal limit and worn on the edges. This often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified in person to ensure the current set of tyres is not wearing prematurely.
