AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 23,385 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,578 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Six major failures across critical safety systems (tyres, brakes, lights, suspension, emissions) from 2011 to 2017.
- Recurring major failures in the same system (e.g., brakes failed 4 times) indicates systemic neglect, not bad luck.
- The vehicle has been untaxed since registration and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
- The 2018-09-29 MOT expiry date is a critical red flag, as the vehicle has not been retested or passed since then.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,578 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
