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.
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 178,500 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.
The 2019 Optima saloon with a diesel and manual gearbox is typically the 1.7/2.0 CRDi-style engine mated to a 6-speed manual — solid on long-distance fuel economy and comfortable at motorway speeds. As a diesel, watch for DPF regeneration history and EGR soot build-up if the car has spent a lot of time on short urban trips; clutch wear and gearbox engagement are also important to check on a 7‑year‑old manual. Kia parts are widely available in Ireland and many dealers/independents can source them cheaply, but the manufacturer's 7-year warranty (if issued) will likely be expired by now so budget for routine maintenance.
- DPF regeneration history and signs of blocked DPF (excessive smoke, frequent warning lights or limp mode)
- EGR/intake soot build-up and any rough idling or loss of low‑down torque
- Turbocharger for shaft play, oil leaks and smoke on hard acceleration
- Clutch bite point and slipping, plus smooth engagement across all gears
- Rear suspension bushes/subframe and brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear
