This 2013 Kia has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 11,999 miles. This fundamental issue makes the vehicle's true condition and value unassessable.
The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a 60× increase in the first year (Jan 2013 to Jul 2017) followed by a 5,599-mile decrease between Jul 2021 and Jul 2022, indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jul 2017 (158,520 mi) and Jul 2018 (18,305 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased by 5,599 miles between Jul 2021 (28,605 mi) and Jul 2022 (23,006 mi) — a major red flag for odometer fraud.
- Mileage increased 60× in the first year (Jan 2013 to Jul 2017) — a clear indicator of odometer tampering.
- Brake system failures in Jul 2018 and Jun 2020, with recurring advisories for wear — indicates a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes — owner addressed issues promptly.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2013 model.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2018, despite initial anomalies — no recent suspicious patterns.
