This 2012 Kia has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 9,693 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and repeated dangerous tyre failures present significant unverified risks.
The vehicle shows only 9,693 miles in 14 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 9,693 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012 to Jan 2026).
- Four DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2018-09-24 (offside front tyre).
- Five MOT failures in total, including dangerous tyre failures in 2018 and 2022.
- Recurring tyre advisories (lights also) across multiple tests indicate systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-05, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features.
- Kia Ceed models are generally known for their value for money and easy maintenance.
