AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Kia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 29,442 miles. While many advisories were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests a need for thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,210 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2019, Oct 2020) and a DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2019) point to a history of poor tyre maintenance.
- Multiple electrical failures (lights, registration plate lamps) across 2020 and 2024 suggest a potential underlying electrical fault.
- Brake disc and pad advisories (Oct 2020, Oct 2021) indicate wear items that require close inspection.
- The 2015 Kia Ceed model has a known head gasket issue (community knowledge) that aligns with the 'head gasket' advisory noted in the MOT history.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,210 miles/year, indicating normal and predictable usage.
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-27, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- No major structural or mechanical failures recorded in the MOT history.
