2014 KIA Carens 1.7L Diesel · VK64 PPF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 103,264 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of perfect results over the last five annual inspections indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical issues from escalating into immediate MOT failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 75,887 miles and November 2025 at 103,264 miles, the car covered 27,377 miles, showing a steady usage of roughly 6,800 miles annually. This regularity suggests predictable use, which generally benefits rubber components and engine seals by preventing the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no mechanical advisories or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to age-related wear and tear. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often perish regardless of mileage. The brake discs and pads require an examination for uneven wear or thinning, though the MOT tester did not flag binding calipers or efficiency issues in the recent tests.
