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

This 2009 Kia has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 19,658 miles. The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, which is a positive.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,607 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 15 tests (2014, 2018, 2021, 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories across 12 tests (2014, 2018, 2021, 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Major suspension failures in 2013 and 2019, with a 2019 Macpherson strut mounting failure, point to structural neglect.
  • Major windscreen failures in 2018 and 2025, with a 2018 wiper failure, highlight recurring visibility issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,607 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
