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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 44,186 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history of neglect and recent advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal usage, averaging 10,374 miles/year, but shows a significant drop to 73 miles/year equivalent between Jan 2020 and Feb 2022, and another drop to 123 miles/year equivalent between Feb 2023 and Feb 2024.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes, tyres, suspension, and emissions.
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in Dec 2018, indicating poor maintenance.
  • Consistent advisories for worn brake discs and pads from Dec 2018 onwards.
  • Major parking brake efficiency failure in Dec 2018, a critical safety component.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until February 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, averaging 10,374 miles/year, shows no odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 2 years.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
