AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,929 miles. The car has a history of minor failures and advisories, including a recent low-mileage period.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,727 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (5,442 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (Mar 2014, Mar 2020, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) suggest potential underlying issues.
- Two MOT failures (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) with no defect details provided, which is unusual for a 2009 vehicle.
- The 2009 Kia 2.0L diesel engine has a well-documented history of head gasket failures, a major concern for this model.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent low mileage (4,727 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
