AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Kia has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 13,373 miles. While recent advisories were addressed, the underlying issues suggest potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 2,265 miles/year, with a significant anomaly in May 2022 (23,424 mi to 23,427 mi) suggesting a possible odometer reset or manipulation.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures (May 2022, May 2023) and steering rack issues (May 2023, May 2024) indicate structural neglect.
- Very low mileage (30,262 mi over 13 years) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.
- May 2019 MOT advisory for both front and rear tyres, though fixed, suggests a history of poor maintenance.
- The 2013 Kia is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-18 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No current MOT failures or advisories, indicating the owner has addressed recent issues.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates a strong safety record for this model.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being very low, show no signs of tampering after the initial anomaly.
