This 2013 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 47,138 miles. However, a recurring suspension issue and a history of major engine faults (head gasket, oil consumption) from community reports warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,723 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has varied significantly since 2020.
