This 2007 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 17,860 miles. The most significant concern is a community-reported high-risk head gasket issue, which requires immediate verification.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,708 miles/year, averaging 17,860 miles over 19 years, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and test.
- Community-reported high-risk head gasket failure is a major concern for a 19-year-old diesel engine.
- First registration in 2007 means it is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring daily charges in London.
- The 2019-2020 MOT history shows a failure in April 2020 with no defect details provided.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage of 6,708 miles/year suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
