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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 19,197 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low mileage and recurring faults warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, averaging only 4,077 miles per year, with a significant drop to 127 miles between July 2020 and July 2022, and further drops to 56 and 64 miles annually in subsequent years.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below average: 55,638 miles over 14 years (UK average: 8,000 miles/year).
  • Recurring electrical faults: Position lamp failures in 2015, 2019, 2021, and 2023.
  • Recurring tyre wear advisories: Front tyres worn in 2015, 2016, and 2019.
  • Major suspension failure recorded in 2019.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOTs.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2012 model.
