This 2012 Kia has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 32,870 miles.
Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,421 miles/year, with a notable dip to very low annual usage (1,578 miles in 2023-2024) that warrants clarification.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories across 7 tests (Oct 2020, Oct 2022, Oct 2023) indicate a systemic wear item.
- Two unexplained failures on 2015-09-22 (brake pads, position lamp) and 2025-12-24 (no details) require investigation.
- The 2015-09-22 failure for 'Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick' is a safety-critical defect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-24, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,421 miles/year), suggesting regular use.
- No major structural or recurring suspension failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its generation.
