AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Kia has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 52,858 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring brake issues and high usage demand careful inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 15,689 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, indicating accelerated wear on components.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (15,689 mi/yr) suggests accelerated wear on brakes and other components.
- Recurring brake failures (Jul 2015 advisory, Jul 2016 failure) indicate a systemic neglect of critical safety systems.
- Nearside Rear brake disc advisory (Jul 2016) was never addressed, showing a pattern of owner neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expiring in 2017, which is a positive.
