This 2009 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 11,374 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the recurring nature of issues like the position lamp and the headlamp aim suggests a pattern of neglect.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,725 miles/year, with a significant drop from 27,094 miles in 2020 to 625 miles in 2021, indicating a period of minimal use.

Things to check

  • Dangerous Offside Rear Brake disc seriously weakened (Apr 2021) — a critical safety failure.
  • Dangerous Tyres (both front) below 1.6mm (Apr 2021) — immediate road safety risk.
  • Recurring Position Lamp failure (May 2019, Apr 2021) — indicates a persistent electrical fault.
  • Recurring Headlamp Aim failure (Apr 2013) — suggests ongoing electrical or mechanical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,725 miles/year, indicating light use.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
