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

This 2014 Kia has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 29,147 miles. While there are recurring tyre advisories and a past lighting failure, these are manageable and indicate a well-maintained vehicle.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,162 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and shows normal annual usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Major failure for Offside Side repeater on 2019-06-24, though immediately rectified.
  • Low annual mileage (29,147 mi over 12 years) may suggest limited use or long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,162 miles/year, well below UK average.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the MOT history.
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
