This 2012 Kia has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 9,651 miles. The recurring brake and tyre advisories, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, present a critical contradiction.
A 16,499-mile discrepancy on 08 Oct 2020 and a 12,445-mile decrease between Oct 2020 (59,721 mi) and Sep 2021 (47,276 mi) are highly suspicious, suggesting possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2020 (59,721 mi) and Sep 2021 (47,276 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased 12,445 miles between Oct 2020 (59,721 mi) and Sep 2021 (47,276 mi).
- Mileage increased 16,499 miles between Oct 2020 (59,721 mi) and Oct 2020 (59,721 mi).
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Oct 2020, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Oct 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 25 Oct 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (after the initial discrepancies).
- No recurring major structural failures or recurring suspension failures.
