2011 KIA Optima 1.7L Diesel · LC61 UGN

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT pass on 19 November 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has passed its last three tests without any recorded defects or advisories. This indicates the vehicle is meeting minimum legal standards for safety and emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,337 miles per year. Between 7 June 2023 and 19 November 2024, the vehicle covered 11,816 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspiciously low intervals that would suggest the car spent long periods standing or suffered from sudden high-intensity use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a fifteen year old vehicle, with no recorded failures for mechanical wear or structural corrosion. The failures on 6 June 2023 and 9 November 2024 were resolved immediately, though the records do not specify the faults. This lack of detailed advisory data means the record does not highlight specific weak points like worn suspension bushes or thinning brake discs. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for surface rust, as MOT testers often overlook minor corrosion that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads manually, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life despite the absence of formal advisories in the DVSA record.
