AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Kia has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 18,885 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2025 service gap, raises significant red flags for a 17-year-old car.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 18,885 miles recorded over 17 years, and a suspiciously low 15 miles/year equivalent before May 2018.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-05-01, immediately rectified but indicates systemic neglect.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (2014-10-22, 2021-10-02) and advisories (2013-10-02) point to chronic structural issues.
  • Major brake system failures (2019-05-01, 2020-11-01) and advisories (2014-10-22, 2020-11-01) suggest a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (15 mi/yr equivalent) before May 2018 is a major red flag for a 17-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2027-05-08, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the 2026-05-08 MOT, suggesting current owner has addressed issues.
  • The Kia Ceed has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), indicating modern safety standards.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history since 2019, with no long gaps between tests.
