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

This 2016 Kia has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 14,703 miles. The recurring tyre advisories and a major failure in 2025 warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,609 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Major tyre failure on 2025-12-05 for TPMS malfunction, a serious safety system.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • First MOT failure on 2020-12-08 for TPMS, suggesting a systemic issue.
  • Consistent low mileage (4,609 mi/yr) may mean infrequent maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-09, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,609 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
