This 2012 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 18,322 miles. The recent MOT pass in Jan 2026 still carries a brake disc advisory.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,753 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in its MOT history.
Things to check
- Jan 2026 MOT pass includes an advisory for worn brake disc, indicating imminent replacement.
- Jan 2024 MOT advisory for Nearside Rear Tyre cracking was not addressed until failure.
- Jan 2024 MOT advisory for Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover was ignored.
- Jan 2024 MOT advisory for Nearside Front Tyre ply exposed was ignored until failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,753 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Recent MOT pass in Jan 2026, despite advisories, shows the vehicle is currently roadworthy.
