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

This 2013 Kia has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 25,038 miles. The vehicle's past issues, combined with a recent MOT failure, make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 76,696 miles in May 2021 to 76,834 miles in June 2021, followed by unusually low annual usage for a 2013 vehicle.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre failure on 2025-06-12, immediately followed by a PASS on 2025-06-12.

  • Dangerous parking brake efficiency failure on 2025-06-12, immediately followed by a PASS on 202

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,110 miles/year, well below UK average.
  • No recorded odometer fraud or mileage decreases, despite usage anomalies.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2013 model is excellent.
