This 2012 Kia has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 27,376 miles. While it has a history of headlamp failures and recurring tyre advisories, these are manageable and do not indicate deeper structural problems.
The vehicle exhibits consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,245 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in its MOT history.
Things to check
- Headlamp failures (Feb 2020, Jun 2015) indicate a pattern of electrical or mechanical issues with the lighting system.
- The 2015-06-09 MOT noted 'n/s/f tyre tread getting low' and 'n/s/r tyre tread low and stepped', indicating significant tyre wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,245 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- Most recent MOT (Jul 2025) passed with no failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
