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

This 2005 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 13,287 miles. The vehicle's 21-year age, combined with a 21-year gap in MOT records and a dangerous defect, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 13,287 miles recorded in Nov 2018, averaging 7,209 miles per year, which is consistent with its age.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Nov 2011) — immediate safety concern.
  • No valid MOT since 2019: Vehicle has been off-road for over 5 years, indicating long-term neglect.
  • Dangerous tyre failure (Nov 2011): Indicates a history of critical safety component wear.
  • Major failures: Brakes and lights failed repeatedly (2018), suggesting systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • Consistent mileage: 13,287 miles over 21 years shows no suspicious patterns or fraud.
  • Single major failure: The 2018 failure was immediately rectified, showing some owner care.
