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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 15,803 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,563 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2022 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Jul 2021 – Jul 2022)
- 8 DANGEROUS brake failures recorded across multiple tests (Feb 2019, Jul 2021, Jul 2022, Jul 2024, Nov 2024).
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Nov 2024, Oct 2025) indicate a persistent and unresolved safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious gaps or drops.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last 12 months, suggesting some recent repairs.
