AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 37,065 miles. The recurring tyre advisories and a known head gasket issue in the Kia Ceed model add to the risk.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,102 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2020 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- 2020 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between July 2019 and January 2021, suggesting a period of off-road use or SORN.
- Unexplained MOT failures: Two MOT failures (July 2019, January 2024) with no defect details provided, indicating unresolved issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Five advisories for tyre wear across multiple tests (2021, 2024, 2025) suggest a persistent maintenance need.
- Head gasket concern: Known model-specific weakness for head gasket issues in Kia Ceed models, aligning with the 2019 headlamp aim failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-26: Offers peace of mind for over three years of MOT coverage.
- Consistent mileage: Average 11,102 miles/year is normal and shows no signs of odometer fraud.
- Recent clean pass: January 2026 MOT passed with no advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Demonstrates a strong safety record for this 2016 Kia model.
