2013 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · FJ63 YHE

The Kia Carens presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 20 January 2026 at 111,170 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior tests show a consistent pattern of clean results once minor administrative failures were cleared, with no recurring mechanical advisories or structural concerns flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 111,170 against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 8,552 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age. The record jumps from 99,888 miles on 6 September 2024 to 108,356 miles by 6 September 2025, an annual gain of about 8,500 miles, then to 111,170 by January 2026. No long dormant periods or abnormal accumulation appear. The two failures on 6 September 2024 and 6 September 2025 at identical dates and near-identical mileages carry no listed defects, indicating paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worn components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car is now 13 years old. The MOT data shows no advisories on these items, but the test regime only captures faults at the point of testing. Verify the exhaust emissions and structural integrity visually, as DVSA sheets recorded nothing, yet age-related rust can develop between tests. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, evidenced by passes with no defects and only non-mechanical failures. The clean January 2026 result suggests the Carens entered the current year in sound condition, though independent verification remains prudent before purchase.
