AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2010 Kia has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 16,877 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety systems and unresolved major defects make this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,568 miles/year, with a significant drop to 6 miles/year before March 2026, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below average: 57,897 miles over 16 years (typical: 107,400 miles).
  • 5 MOT failures across 13 tests, including critical safety systems like suspension and emissions.
  • Recurring major failures: exhaust leak (Jan 2022 advisory, Jan 2025 major failure).
  • Recurring major failures: rear coil springs (Jan 2026 failure, Jan 2024 advisory).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
