AI verdict AVOID 34/100

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

This 2012 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 6,399 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a mileage anomaly, raises significant red flags for fraud.

The vehicle shows only 22,667 miles over 14 years, which is a significant anomaly and well below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Jul 2023 (offside front tyre bulge) and Jun 2022 (tread depth below 1.6mm).
  • MAJOR brake failures in Jun 2022 (excessively binding offside rear service brake) and Jun 2024 (parking brake efficiency below requirements).
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 separate tests (Jun 2019, Jul 2023, Jun 2024, Jun 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until December 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has maintained it well.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and reliable vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit low) suggest regular use and maintenance.
