This 2008 Kia has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 26,319 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also currently invalid, making it unroadworthy.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: 57,532 miles over 16 years (3,566 miles/year), which is well below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year and raises odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- MOT currently NOT VALID (expires 2025-02-13) — vehicle is unroadworthy and cannot be legally driven.
- DANGEROUS subframe corrosion (Dec 2018) — a major structural safety concern.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: 57,532 miles over 16 years (3,566 miles/year) — well below UK average, raises fraud concerns.
- Recurring brake system failures (Dec 2018, Jan 2021) — indicates chronic neglect or poor design.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
- Consistent low annual mileage: 3,566 miles/year — suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No recent MOT failures: Last failure was Jan 2024, indicating the owner is addressing issues.
- No recent dangerous defects: Last dangerous defect was Jan 2024, indicating the owner is addressing issues.
