This 2013 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 41,473 miles. The mileage history also raises significant concerns about its past usage.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2024 (231 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in usage from Sep 2024 onwards, indicating inconsistent and potentially problematic driving history.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-02-19 (87,307 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake system advisories (2020, 2023, 2026) escalating to dangerous failures.
- Suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2024 (231 mi/yr equivalent) — potential odometer fraud.
- Brake disc advisory on 2026-02-19 (87,310 mi) — indicates ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-19, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No major structural corrosion or suspension failures recorded in its history.
