Our Verdict
A strong contender for a large MPV due to exceptionally low mileage for its age, but it shows a history of deferred maintenance on minor wear-and-tear items that require a thorough check before purchase.
The primary selling point of this vehicle is the mileage, which suggests there is plenty of life left if maintained correctly. However, you must verify the service history; low-mileage cars often suffer from short-trip use which can lead to carbon buildup. Pay close attention to the door mechanisms, as the MOT shows multiple failures and advisories regarding catches over the years.
Check the condition of the tyres thoroughly. The MOT history shows a pattern of perishing and low tread depth, indicating that the car may have sat for long periods or had neglected budget tyres. Inspect the steering linkage, specifically the ball joint dust covers were noted as perished in the most recent test, and ensure this has been rectified to prevent premature steering wear.
As a 2900cc diesel MPV, expect fuel economy to be modest, likely averaging 28-32 mpg in mixed driving. The tax band is high due to the engine size, and insurance can be significant (likely group 25-28 depending on your profile).
Maintenance costs for the Sedona are standard for a large vehicle, though parts like large tyres can be more expensive than a standard hatchback. Budget an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,600 inclusive of fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Focus on the sliding doors and rear tailgate; the MOT history shows a trend of 'deteriorated' and 'insecure' door catches. Ensure they operate smoothly and lock securely. Also check all exterior lighting, as the rear fog lamp and registration plate lamps have failed in the past.
Examine the front suspension area. The recent MOT noted a damaged ball joint dust cover; if this hasn't been replaced, it will lead to expensive ball joint failure. Finally, check for cracking on the tyre sidewalls, as the history indicates a tendency for perishing rubber despite the low mileage.
This 2007 KIA Sedona is a remarkably low-mileage example with 66,028 miles over 19 years, which is significantly below the average. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the service history reveals recurring issues with door catches, lighting, and tyre condition. The large 2.9L diesel engine is robust, but the history of an engine management light in the past suggests potential electronic sensor issues.
The early 2.9 CRDi engine is generally considered reliable for long distances, though it can be sensitive to poor fuel quality and rarely driven usage.
