2018 KIA Carens 1.6L Petrol · WT18 ABX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 84,842 miles saw the Kia Carens pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since 2023, indicating that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety components to a standard that avoids recurring MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 28,741 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The only anomaly in the record occurred in June 2022 at 42,190 miles, where the vehicle failed just one day before its scheduled test. This suggests a minor issue was likely rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults or advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of wear-related items that do not always trigger. At nearly 85,000 miles, attention should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage despite clean records. Check the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure there are no signs of binding calipers, as the MOT test does not specifically monitor pad thickness or corrosion levels.
