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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 56,762 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and high usage demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,698 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 2013-2015 (3,567-4,482 miles/year) before returning to higher figures.
Things to check
- High mileage (149,802 miles) for a 2006 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
- Recurring electrical/lighting failures (2011, 2017) suggest underlying issues.
- Recent advisories for worn brake discs (Oct 2017) and tyres (Oct 2017) indicate immediate costs.
- MOT expired in 2018, but a new MOT was issued in Oct 2017, raising questions about its validity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and no hidden storage.
- No major structural failures or recurring major mechanical issues.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
