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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 18,211 miles. The vehicle's past safety record and potential odometer tampering make it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a critical decrease from 79,680 miles in Nov 2017 to 28,828 miles in Mar 2018, indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2017 (79,680 mi) and Mar 2018 (28,828 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Jan 2025).
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of requirements (Feb 2026).
Working in its favour
- Current MOT valid until 2027-02-16, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Feb 2026 test, suggesting current owner has addressed issues.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2019, despite initial anomalies, suggests regular use.
