AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 20,881 miles. The recurring exhaust advisories and a 2017 head gasket fault from the community report also warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2016 (398 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 4,540 miles per year since registration.
Things to check
- 2015-07-24 FAILED MOT for Nearside Rear Tyre and Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm.
- Recurring exhaust advisories across 4 separate MOT tests (2018, 2022, 2023, 2024) suggest ongoing issues.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Sep 2016 (398 mi/yr equivalent) indicates long periods of inactivity.
- Community-reported 'head gasket' fault (2017) for this 2010 Kia model is a major concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-02, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance is acceptable.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2016, showing no suspicious spikes.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features.
