2004 KIA Sedona 2.9L Diesel · HD04 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by clean pass records over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2023 at 216,302 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. This follows a period of consistent results in 2022 and 2020, suggesting a reliable level of mechanical upkeep by the owner. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over its twenty-two years. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the car covered 6,628 miles, showing a slight drop in usage compared to the 6,144 miles recorded between the 2020 and 2021 tests. The failure in November 2021 occurred just six miles after a previous recorded pass, likely due to a minor equipment failure or a light-related defect that was immediately rectified before the re-test. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus physical inspection on high-mileage components common to a vehicle with over 210,000 miles. The tester should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and mounting points, as these areas often degrade before mechanical failure. Given the age of the Sedona, checking the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to ensure there is no excessive play or wear that has not triggered an MOT advisory.
