2019 KIA Optima 1.6L Diesel · FN19 SYA

The 2019 Kia Optima presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 67,656 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across all five annual examinations. Every DVSA test from 14 February 2022 through to the 2026 inspection returned a pass with no advisories or faults raised. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a seven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 23,518 miles on 14 February 2022, rising to 30,658 by 18 January 2023, then 42,024 on 5 February 2024, 55,224 on 3 February 2025, and 67,656 on 27 February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,600 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The sparse but consistent history gives no indication of neglected storage or excessive commercial use. No recurring faults appear in the suspension, braking system, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity categories. The absence of advisories on coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or tyre tread suggests the previous owners kept basic consumable wear within limits. A clean sheet across five tests implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for early corrosion and verify the condition of suspension bushes and brake calipers, as MOT passes do not measure remaining component life. Confirm the service book matches the recorded mileages and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking despite the passed tread readings.
