AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Kia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 11,331 miles. The car's low annual usage (5,459 miles/year) is a significant concern for a 12-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage averaging 5,459 miles/year, with a recent significant drop to 3,966 miles/year between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026, suggesting minimal use.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2024-02-22 (front brake pads less than 1.5mm).
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2020) indicate a pattern of wear and potential neglect.
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,459 miles/year) for a 12-year-old vehicle is a major red flag.
- The 2024-02-22 DANGEROUS brake failure was immediately rectified, but the underlying cause is unknown.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-04, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects since the 2024-02-22 brake rectification.
