How ULEZ rules apply to the Sedona

- Diesel (98% of Sedonas tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
- Petrol (2% of Sedonas tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Kia Sedona for London: what the MOT data shows
The Kia Sedonas in this data were first registered between 2003 and 2012. 2008 was the most common year, with 1,141 tests (18% of the total), and half were registered in 2008 or later.
Almost every Sedona in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2012) passed first time 68% of the time at 65,495 miles on average, and the oldest (2003) passed 43% at 104,737 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Sedona's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (12.0% of tests); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (7.4%) and "fractured or broken" (4.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 19.7% of tests.
Overall, 55% of Sedonas passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 98,228 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
