AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Kia has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 18,572 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the underlying issues and inconsistent usage make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (18,572 mi) between 2013 registration and its first MOT in 2016, followed by a significant spike in usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Feb 2021) and brakes (Aug 2025) indicate severe neglect.
- Recurring failures: Tyres (6 tests), Windscreen (5 tests), Steering (4 tests), and Brakes (2 tests).
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (18,572 mi) before Mar 2021, then normal usage.
- High-CONCERN advisories: Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Jan 2019) and Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Jan 2019).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
