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

This 2012 Kia has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 40,656 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated failures and advisories on critical systems like brakes and suspension make this a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,708 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle has covered 134,163 miles in 14 years.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Sep 2018, Sep 2019, and Oct 2023.
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Sep 2019) and major failures (Oct 2021).
  • Recurring suspension failures (Oct 2021, Oct 2023) and major failures (Oct 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,708 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
