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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 14,328 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of dangerous defects, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2020 (184 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a period of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: lights (3 times), steering (1 time) — Feb 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026.
  • Recurring advisories: tyres (4 times), brakes (2 times) — Feb 2021, Feb 2023, Feb 2026.
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint excessively worn — Feb 2025.
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn — Feb 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage fraud detected after Feb 2020, usage has been consistent since.
  • Immediate retests after failures show owner's proactive approach to repairs.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
