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.
