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

This 2012 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 33,307 miles. The vehicle's history shows consistent neglect of wear items and a significant drop in recent annual usage.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until Feb 2022, but then a suspiciously low 356 miles/year between Feb 2023 and Mar 2024, and similarly low 326 miles/year between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026.

  • Recurring minor defects across multiple MOTs (lights, wipers, tyres, brakes) indicate a pattern of owner neglect.
  • Major mileage anomaly: 356 miles/year between Feb 2023 and Mar 2024, and 326 miles/year between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026, suggests periods of inactivity or very low use.
  • The 2017-01-26 test shows 'Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively' and 'Nearside Registration plate lamp not working', both common owner neglect items.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-28, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2022, suggesting regular use and maintenance for its age.
