AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2011 Kia has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 30,978 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for critical safety components indicate significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,526 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a clear decrease in annual usage from 2019 onwards.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-08-26 (72,920 mi) after ADVISORY on 2018-08-26 (64,431 mi).
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2022-11-15 (93,252 mi) after ADVISORY on 2019-08-26 (72,920 mi).
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (2018, 2022, 2023) and pad wear (2018, 2023) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,526 miles/year, no fraud detected.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., suspension, engine) noted in MOT history.
  • Immediate retests after failures show owner's proactive approach to rectifying issues.
