This 2004 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 12,686 miles. The car's MOT status is also 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2014-09-30, indicating it has been off-road for over a decade.
The vehicle shows only 12,686 miles over 22 years, which is a critical anomaly and strongly suggests odometer fraud or a severe underreporting issue.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 12,686 miles over 22 years (Jan 2004) — indicates potential odometer fraud.
- MOT status: 'Not valid' with expiry 2014-09-30 — vehicle has been off-road for over a decade.
- MOT expiry date: 2014-09-30 — over 10 years ago, no current MOT validity.
- Recurring handbrake failure: 2010-09-25 and 2011-09-30 — indicates a persistent brake system issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
- No recent MOT failures: The last MOT failure was in 2011, suggesting some level of maintenance.
- Consistent annual mileage: Once past the initial low mileage, the car shows consistent annual usage.
- Relatively low insurance group: 19 out of 50 (1=cheapest, 50=most expensive) — lower running costs.
