This 2016 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 10,862 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with recurring tyre advisories, suggests potential underlying issues or unverified usage.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,377 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of only 10,862 miles recorded over 10 years (Mar 2019: 10,862 mi, Mar 2026: 24,194 mi).
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 24,194 mi over 10 years (Mar 2026) — raises fraud concerns.
- Persistent tyre wear advisories: 10 advisories across 6 tests (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Mar 2026).
- Recent MOT advisory on 24 Mar 2026: Tyre, Brake hose, Brake disc — all need immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT pass record: 8 of 9 tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until 26 Mar 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent low annual mileage: Average 2,377 miles/year suggests light, non-abusive use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — demonstrates high safety standards for its era.
