This 2020 Kia has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,020 miles. The car's low annual mileage is a positive, but the head gasket issues reported by Kia owners warrant careful investigation.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 6,536 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious readings across all four MOT tests.
Things to check
- 2025-10-20: Failed MOT for ineffective offside windscreen wiper, torn.
- Head gasket issues reported by Kia owners (community knowledge) — high risk for 1.5L T-GDI engine.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,536 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-25, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retest.
- No recurring failures or advisories on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features.
