AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Kia has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 21,765 miles. The pattern of escalating failures on tyres and brakes, combined with a 2021 service gap, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,488 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, but a 2021 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-02-26 (test 10) — immediate safety concern.
- DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2024-01-17 (test 9) — repeated safety failures.
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories (Jan 2024) escalated to dangerous failures (Feb 2025).
- Recurring tyre wear advisories (Nov 2019) escalated to dangerous failures (Jan 2024).
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 8,488 miles/year.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-02-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
