AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2011 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,975 miles. The pattern of neglect and unaddressed advisories makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,050 miles per year, with a significant 16-month gap in MOT history (Dec 2024 to Jan 2026).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2026): Nearside Front Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects on 2026-01-01 (Jan 2026 FAIL) after 4 years of no tyre advisories.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-01-01 (Jan 2026 FAIL) with recurring brake disc advisories.
  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint failures on 2015-10-29 (FAIL) and 2015-10-22 (FAIL).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
