AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Kia has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 21,774 miles. The car's age and mileage suggest a well-maintained vehicle, but the owner's history of reported faults and the current tyre condition require thorough verification.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,391 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage and no odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2022, Feb 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Headlamp failure on 2020-02-14 (PRS: Nearside Front Headlamp aim too high) suggests electrical or alignment issues.
- Front brake lining wear noted in Feb 2020 and Feb 2020 advisories, though not a recent failure, shows ongoing wear.
- Recent Feb 2026 MOT shows both front tyres worn close to legal limit (2.5mm/2.6mm), requiring immediate replacement.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,391 mi/yr) suggests careful, light usage.
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
