2014 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · LR14 KAJ

The 2025‑10‑02 MOT at 77,679 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilized after the 2024 failure was remedied. Mileage has risen from 24,431 miles in February 2017 to 77,679 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2014 model and shows no anomalous spikes or long periods of inactivity. Recurring brake wear is evident, with rear and front discs noted as worn, pitted or scored in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and pads described as thin in the 2024 failure; tyre condition also shows edge wear and perishing on several occasions, suggesting the need for a close inspection of suspension bushes, wheel alignment and structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, verify that the recent remedial work on the near‑side front lamp and any corrosion‑prone areas is complete, and check the suspension components and tyre tread for signs of uneven wear or damage.
