AI verdict AVOID 36/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Kia has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 55,186 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with a 3.7× increase in usage before March 2023 and a subsequent 0.7× decrease, indicating potential odometer fraud.
The mileage shows a 3.7× increase in usage before Mar 2023 (39,399 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 0.7× decrease to 714 mi/yr before Mar 2026, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2014-09-01 (73,555 mi) — immediate safety risk.
- Persistent brake system failures and advisories across 7+ tests (2014–2026).
- Unusually high mileage jump before Mar 2023 (39,399 mi/yr equivalent) — potential odometer fraud.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Mar 2026 (714 mi/yr equivalent) — potential odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
