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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 23,911 miles. While many failures were immediately rectified, the repeated advisories for suspension and subframe corrosion are a significant concern for a 16-year-old vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,778 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine odometer readings.
Things to check
- Recurring corrosion advisories on rear suspension arm (Sep 2021) and subframe (Sep 2022) are a major concern for a 16-year-old car.
- Multiple brake system failures and advisories (Sep 2021, Sep 2022) suggest a history of neglect or poor maintenance.
- The 2013-11-28 FAILED test for headlamp aim and tyre wear indicates early wear and tear on critical components.
- The 2014-11-24 PASSED test is missing from the provided MOT history, which is a significant data gap.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-12, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 7,778 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
