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

This 2006 Kia has 8 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 16,266 miles. The low mileage for its age, combined with recurring suspension advisories, warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,527 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2012-2013.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2017-06-10; vehicle is currently on SORN with no active MOT.
  • Community-reported high-risk head gasket and oil consumption issues for a 20-year-old diesel.
  • Low mileage (16,266 mi in 20 years) for a 2006 diesel may indicate limited use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • Perfect MOT pass record with zero failures across 8 tests since 2009.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,527 miles/year, no fraud indicators.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong structural integrity.
