This 2016 Kia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 38,630 miles. While these were addressed, the frequency of critical safety component wear warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,220 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (2020, 2025) and advisories (2023, 2024) suggest ongoing wear.
- Multiple tyre failures (2020) and advisories (2022, 2025) point to a history of poor maintenance.
- The 2025-11-22 MOT pass included an advisory for 'Offside Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin', a recurring issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-20, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,220 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
- All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified, indicating responsive ownership.
