The KIA CARENS (2013-18) 5DR MPV 1.7 CRDI DPF SS 139 EU6 4 6SPD is a family-focused compact MPV, offering a practical alternative to a hatchback with extra room and flexible seating. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers needing people-carrying versatility without the bulk of an SUV. mycarcheck.com has recorded 89 checks across 37 different VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest. The checks show average recorded mileage of 65,000, annual mileage of 10,000 and around 1.7 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £7,900, a helpful reference when comparing cars. The 1.7-litre diesel is suited to drivers wanting relaxed long-distance running and useful economy, while the six-speed manual works well for family trips and commuting. Compared with the Ford C-MAX and Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, the Carens offers straightforward practicality and Kia’s value-focused appeal. As with a used diesel, check service history, condition and emissions-system health before buying.
