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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 23,045 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent advisories for critical wear items like tyres and brakes suggest a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,135 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Sep 2018: Major failure for Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating, with both rear discs worn.
- Sep 2018: All four tyres (front and rear) show cracking/perishing advisories, indicating significant wear.
- Sep 2024: Major failure for Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating, with both rear discs worn.
- Sep 2025: Minor advisory for ball joint and headlamp aim, suggesting ongoing wear items.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,135 mi/yr) suggests light, non-abusive use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- All major failures (brakes, lights, windscreen) were promptly rectified and passed retests.
