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 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.
