Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You often load a pushchair, dog or bulky bags: an estate layout could be useful. Try your own luggage rather than judging by the exterior size.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at 187,274 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2018 Optima diesels in Europe are fitted with a small common‑rail CRDi diesel and a 6‑speed manual; they're generally robust and economical on long runs. These cars have DPF and EGR systems, so frequent short-town trips can cause DPF regeneration problems; clutch wear is the main wear item on a manual, and the original long Kia warranty will likely have expired by now. Parts and dealer support are widely available in Ireland, and servicing costs are typically lower than premium German rivals.
- DPF condition and service record — ask if forced regen or cleaning has been needed (short trips can clog the DPF).
- Clutch engagement and any slipping or high bite point (manual cars at 8 years can need a new clutch depending on use).
- Turbocharger operation: check for excessive smoke on acceleration and oil leaks at the turbo/intercooler hoses.
- Suspension and underbody for corrosion, plus rear spring sag or uneven tyre wear (estate versions can have heavier load use).
