AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Kia has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate. While failures were promptly rectified, the sheer volume of advisories across multiple systems suggests a car that has been run to the limit of safety.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,140 miles per year with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine odometer readings.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2022, Mar 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 2 tests (Feb 2022, Feb 2026) suggest a history of running them close to legal limits.
- Recurring CV boot advisories (Mar 2024, Feb 2025) escalated from MINOR to MAJOR, indicating a structural neglect of critical components.
- Engine/Oil advisory noted in Feb 2026 test, a recurring issue that needs immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent and normal, averaging 8,140 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- All 2 test failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day, showing responsive ownership.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its age.
