This 2005 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 19,032 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low annual mileage and past issues warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory shows a critical 15,987-mile decrease between Feb 2012 (41,753 mi) and Feb 2013 (25,766 mi), followed by a significant 24,352-mile jump by Feb 2014, indicating a major odometer tampering risk.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2012 (41,753 mi) and Feb 2013 (25,766 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased by 15,987 miles between Feb 2012 and Feb 2013 — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Recurring anti-roll bar link failures (Feb 2012, Feb 2015, Feb 2016) suggest chronic suspension issues.
- Offside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged (Feb 2012) — a recurring steering/suspension defect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until Feb 2018, indicating current roadworthiness despite age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Feb 2017, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (5,000-6,000 miles) after the 2013 anomaly, showing regular use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — a strong safety record for its age.
