AI verdict CAUTION 70/100

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

This 2018 Kia has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 15,629 miles. The low annual mileage also warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,097 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 15,629 miles recorded since 2018.

Things to check

  • May 2026: Failed MOT due to Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm.
  • May 2026: Passed retest but advisory for Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit remains.
  • May 2026: Dangerous defect for Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm indicates a safety-critical failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until May 2027, providing peace of mind for the next year.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,097 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No recurring major system failures or structural neglect evident in the MOT history.
