AI verdict CAUTION 58/100

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

This 2010 Kia has 15 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 6,604 miles. The car's age and low usage combined with a head gasket fault from community knowledge warrant extreme caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,381 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 1,538 miles driven between March 2025 and March 2026.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect recorded for brakes on 2013-04-22 (MOT 6,604 mi) — a critical safety failure.
  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 54,897 mi over 16 years (typical: 107,400 mi, n=33 vehicles).
  • Severe mileage anomaly: only 1,538 miles driven between March 2025 and March 2026 (MOT 53,346 mi → 54,897 mi).
  • Community-reported head gasket fault — a known model weakness for this 1.1L engine.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on the same system, suggesting isolated issues.
  • Low annual mileage (3,381 mi/yr) may indicate light use and less wear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates good safety
