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

This 2011 Kia has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 18,207 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these safety-critical systems warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,649 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2015 to 2021 (e.g., 55,340 mi in Feb 2021, then only 2,533 miles in Feb 2022).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Feb 2021, Feb 2023) and brake failures (Mar 2019, Feb 2021) indicate structural neglect.
  • Persistent tyre advisories (Mar 2019, Feb 2022, Jan 2024, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) suggest a chronic wear issue.
  • Major failures for the Nearside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side (Feb 2021) and Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured (Feb 2023) are serious safety concerns.
  • The vehicle has been driven at only 4,649 miles per year on average, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • All major failures (brakes, suspension) were promptly rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for longevity.
