2012 KIA Optima 1 Crdi 1.7L Diesel · GSZ 6793

The 2012 KIA OPTIMA 1 CRDI's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent test on 2026-06-11 at 120,932 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. However, this follows a series of failed tests on 2026-06-08 and 2026-06-03 at mileages 120,735 and 120,573 respectively, with no defects recorded in these instances either. This unusual pattern of consecutive failures followed by a pass may indicate variability in testing or recording. The vehicle's mileage of 120,932 miles over 14 years suggests an average annual mileage of approximately 8,638 miles, which is typical for its age. Reviewing the MOT history, there are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulations evident; the mileage progression appears steady. Between 2024-02-21 and 2025-03-28, the vehicle covered 11,694 miles over roughly 13 months. More recently, between 2026-06-03 and 2026-06-11, it covered 359 miles in about 8 days, indicating recent use. Given the absence of specific fault codes or advisories in the MOT history provided, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on general condition, wear on consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads, and check for any signs of structural or mechanical issues. Particular attention should be paid to suspension components, exhaust system integrity, and for any signs of corrosion or damage that might not have been flagged in the MOT tests. The lack of detailed fault information in the MOT records means that a hands-on assessment is crucial to verify the vehicle's current condition and to identify any potential issues that could affect its reliability or roadworthiness in the future.
