AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 21,424 miles. The repeated advisories for worn tyres and brake pads indicate a history of reactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 21,424 miles in 8 years, averaging 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect (Dec 2021) and dangerous brake defect (Nov 2024) indicate past safety neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Dec 2021, Nov 2022, Nov 2023) and brake pad advisories (Nov 2024) show a clear pattern of wear.
- Major tyre failure (Nov 2023) and brake failure (Nov 2024) suggest a history of reactive repairs rather than proactive maintenance.
- The recurring nature of these issues points to a structural or driving-related problem, not just normal wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until December 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 8 years, averaging 7,300 miles annually, is normal for a UK vehicle.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model year.
