AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Kia has 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 8,689 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT further complicate its roadworthiness.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 3,369 miles/year, averaging only 8,689 miles over 20 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2006 vehicle.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2025-03-12 (Mar 2025) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring major failures in the brake system across multiple tests (Mar 2019, Feb 2021, Feb 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025).
- Persistent major failures in the engine/oil system across multiple tests (Mar 2019, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Mar 2024).
- Major failures in the windscreen system across multiple tests (Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner and minimal wear-and-tear issues.
- The vehicle has a comprehensive MOT history, providing full transparency into its past maintenance and failures.
