AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Kia has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 13,592 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a recurring pattern of brake advisories warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows 13,592 miles in March 2021, but only 32,788 miles in March 2026, indicating a 3,000-mile-per-year average significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 3,978 miles/yr (Mar 2026) — raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) — indicates ongoing wear on critical safety components.
- Single MOT failure (Mar 2023) for windscreen wiper — minor but shows past maintenance gaps.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Strong MOT record with 6 passes and 1 failure —
