AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2010 Kia has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 31,169 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with periods of near-standstill and a recent drop to just 735 miles/year.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 4,526 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 298 miles/year recorded before Aug 2016 and only 81 miles/year before Feb 2023.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre failures recorded in Jan 2024 and Oct 2015 MOTs.
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisory in Aug 2025 and Oct 2019.
  • Recurring suspension arm wear advisory in Aug 2025 and Mar 2015.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Aug 2016 (298 mi/yr) and Feb 2023 (81 mi/yr).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2015 suspension failure.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2023, albeit very low.
