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

This 2011 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 19,376 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,236 miles per year, with a notable 1,100-mile increase between Dec 2020 and Jan 2022, and subsequent very low annual usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 5 tests (Jun 2019, Dec 2020, Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm rubber bush advisories (Jun 2015, Jun 2016) suggest ongoing component degradation.
  • Two MOT failures (Jun 2018, Jan 2022) with no defect details provided, raising concerns about past maintenance.
  • A 15-year-old vehicle with consistently low mileage (5,236 mi/yr) will have accumulated wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
