AI verdict AVOID 41/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Kia has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 24,218 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 7,182 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is heavily outweighed by the severe MOT failures and advisories.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Front brake failure on 2019-10-31 (43,386 mi) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring Emissions failures: 5 major failures across 2018–2023, indicating persistent engine issues.
  • Recurring Tyre failures: 8 advisory/defect entries across 2017–2025, showing chronic wear.
  • Recurring

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage: 7,182 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-07, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) is a positive for its model.
