This 2018 Kia has 6 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 14,258 miles. The low annual mileage for its age is a major red flag, requiring thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a consistent but very low annual mileage of 4,071 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of 14,258 miles recorded in April 2021, which is highly unusual for a 3-year-old car.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 14,258 miles in April 2021 is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Offside Rear Tyre advisory (Apr 2022) and Offside Rear Tyre advisory (Apr 2024) suggest a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT pass record: 6 consecutive passes with no failures recorded since first registration.
- No dangerous defects recorded: All advisories were minor and immediately addressed, showing responsible ownership.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until April 2027, providing peace of mind for several years.
