2018 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · FY68 WRX

The most recent MOT on 30 October 2025 at 77,639 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. Across the five recorded tests the outcomes have remained consistently positive, apart from a single Fail on 17 October 2024 that listed no specific faults; the pattern therefore appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 54,931 miles in October 2022 to 77,639 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 9,200 miles per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The record is otherwise complete, providing a clear annual mileage trajectory without unexplained gaps. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear items that the MOT does not cover in depth. Inspect tyre tread and sidewall integrity, ensuring depth exceeds the legal minimum and that there is no uneven wear suggesting suspension misalignment. Examine brake pads and discs for thickness and any scoring that could indicate binding calipers. Check suspension components – particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs – for signs of leakage, corrosion, or excessive play. A visual assessment of the exhaust system for rust or cracks, and a thorough look at wheel arches and chassis for structural rust, will further confirm the vehicle’s mechanical health. The absence of recurring MOT advisories suggests no chronic issues, but a hands‑on inspection remains essential to confirm the overall condition.
