This 2018 Kia has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 11,148 miles. The recurring advisories for tyres, wipers, and brakes indicate a pattern of wear items needing attention.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 3,180 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual mileage from 3,667 miles (2023-2025) to 1,716 miles (2025-2026), suggesting a potential issue with the odometer.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 11,148 miles over 8 years (typical: 58,522 miles, n=111 vehicles).
- Unexplained MOT failure on 2026-03-31 with no defect details provided by DVSA.
- Very low annual mileage (1,716 miles in 2025-2026) suggests potential odometer issues or limited use.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-11, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (pre-2025) suggest regular use, despite low total.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features.
