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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 21,123 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,623 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 606 miles between May 2023 and May 2024).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures across multiple tests (e.g., May 2022, May 2024, May 2025).
  • Persistent brake system advisories and failures (e.g., Jul 2018, Jun 2021, May 2025).
  • Major headlamp failure recorded on 2014-07-24 (PRS: Nearside Front Headlamp aim too high).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,623 miles/yr) since 2009 registration.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • All past failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
