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

This 2008 Kia has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 16,730 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, with a 54,000-mile drop in 2022 and a 62,590-mile jump in the same year.

The mileage shows a 54,000-mile drop between 28 Oct 2022 (130,585 mi) and 02 Nov 2022 (76,585 mi), followed by a 62,590-mile jump before Oct 2022, indicating a severe data anomaly.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 28 Oct 2021 (62,977 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • Major brake disc wear advisories on 30 Oct 2023, 30 Oct 2024, and 30 Oct 2025 — persistent, escalating issue.
  • Major windscreen wiper failure on 30 Oct 2022 — indicates poor maintenance.
  • Major emissions failure on 30 Oct 2022 — suggests underlying engine issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 01 Nov 2026 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was in Oct 2025, indicating owner is addressing issues.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2022 — no further anomalies after initial drop.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its age.
