2015 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · LD15 UBJ

The 2025‑07‑16 MOT at 156,706 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, showing that the vehicle currently satisfies DVSA roadworthiness standards. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without recorded faults, while the two 2023 failures listed no specific defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The mileage has climbed from 134,106 miles in July 2023 to 156,706 miles by July 2025, an increase of roughly 22,600 miles over two years, or about 11,300 miles per year, which is high for a 2015 model. The interval between the 2023‑07‑25 test and the 2024‑07‑30 test spans eleven months, and the subsequent 2025‑07‑07 to 2025‑07‑16 gap is only nine days, suggesting regular, albeit intensive, usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the exhaust system and chassis for corrosion, given the high annual mileage. Particular attention to the catalytic converter and lambda sensor is advisable, as the 2023 fails without recorded defects may reflect intermittent emission issues. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the elevated mileage and frequent testing imply that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads may be approaching the end of their service life, making a physical inspection of these components essential.
