AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Kia has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 30,838 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical areas demands thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,884 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has varied significantly over its 13-year life.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Nov 2021 and Mar 2023, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Recurring major failures in lights (Nov 2020, Mar 2023) and suspension (Mar 2023, Apr 2024) suggest systemic maintenance issues.
- Brake disc and pad advisories from Nov 2020, Nov 2021, and Apr 2022 show a clear pattern of wear that was never addressed.
- Windscreen advisories in Apr 2022, Apr 2023, and Apr 2026, combined with a minor defect in Apr 2026, point to chronic issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,884 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
- Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
