AI verdict AVOID 49/100

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 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 7,797 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a 20-year gap in recorded mileage, with only 7,797 miles recorded in August 2009 and no subsequent readings, which is highly suspicious.

Things to check

  • MILEAGE GAPS: No mileage recorded between 2009-08-18 and 2010-09-09 (11,673 mi), a 20-year anomaly.
  • MILEAGE DISCREPANCY: 7,874 miles in 2009, then 11,673 miles in 2010 — no progression.
  • MOT EXPIRY DATE: The provided MOT expiry date (2026-09-15) directly contradicts the DVLA data showing a valid MOT until 2026-09-15.
  • MILEAGE vs UK AVERAGE: Very low usage averaging 1,563 miles/year, well below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle for its age.
  • MOT Valid Until 2026-09-15: The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, which is a positive for immediate roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures: The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT tests, showing no immediate safety concerns.
  • Consistent annual mileage: Once the initial 20-year gap is resolved, the annual mileage has been consistent.
