This 2009 Kia has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 2,020 miles. The car's age and past issues present significant long-term risks despite its current MOT.

Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,667 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle.
- 2012-07-06 FAILED MOT for offside headlamp aim too low, indicating past electrical issues.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Aug 2018, Jun 2023, Dec 2024) suggest chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jun 2022, Jun 2023) point to ongoing wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2009 model is excellent.
