This 2015 Kia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 19,607 miles. Recurring tyre and suspension advisories also indicate a pattern of wear items needing attention.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake pad failure on 2019-03-29 (28,005 mi) — immediate safety concern.

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025) suggest chronic wear.
  • Minor suspension arm advisory on 2026-03-28 (91,132 mi) — monitor for future failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-28, offering peace of mind for the next three years.

  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in recent tests.
  • Immediate retest passes after failures, indicating owner's prompt rectification.
