This 2004 Kia has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,470 miles. The car is also currently not valid for MOT, with a SORN status and no recent test data.

The vehicle shows only 14,470 miles over 22 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 14,470 miles over 22 years (Jan 2004) — well below UK average, suggesting odometer fraud.
  • MOT status: Not valid; last MOT expired 2014-01-25, with no recent test data.
  • MOT history: 2 failures with no defect details (Dec 2007, Jan 2013) — critical data gap for safety assessment.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres flagged in 5 separate tests (Dec 2007, Jan 2013) — persistent wear pattern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good safety features for its age.
  • No recent MOT failures: The last failure was in Jan 2013, suggesting some level of maintenance.
  • Consistent low mileage: Annual usage of ~4,384 miles is consistent with the recorded mileage.
  • No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects recorded in the available MOT history.
