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

This 2008 Kia has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 16,667 miles. While mileage is low, the consistent need for repairs suggests ongoing maintenance costs.

The vehicle exhibits very low annual usage, averaging only 5,329 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,989 miles between May 2025 and May 2026).

Things to check

  • Recurring track rod end failures (flagged in 9 tests) indicate persistent steering issues.
  • Recurring brake pad wear (flagged in 4 tests) suggests a chronic problem with brake maintenance.
  • Recurring tyre condition advisories (flagged in 4 tests) point to ongoing tyre replacement needs.
  • Recurring windscreen minor defects (flagged in 4 tests) suggest a persistent issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-06 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Low annual mileage (5,329 mi/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
