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

This 2012 Kia has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 39,603 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of major failures, warrants a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2015 (14 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,823 miles per year since registration.

Things to check

  • Recurring subframe corrosion advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Mar 2026).
  • Recurring suspension arm corrosion advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Mar 2026).
  • Recurring coil spring failures (Mar 2022, Mar 2022 retest).
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Mar 2021, Mar 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next 3 years.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2015, indicating regular use despite low overall numbers.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2012 model is excellent.
