This 2016 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 29,479 miles. While there are historical advisories for brakes and tyres, these appear to have been addressed by the owner.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,867 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 10-year history.
Things to check
- Two major MOT failures in July 2021 (stop lamps, washer, TPMS) and July 2023 (stop lamps, TPMS) suggest electrical system wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories in July 2023 and July 2024 indicate potential ongoing wear and tear on this component.
- The July 2023 MOT failure for TPMS and stop lamps, followed by a retest pass the same day, is a minor concern for quick fixes.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,867 mi/yr) suggests light use and less mechanical stress.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety risks.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
