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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 20,432 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated brake issues and a recent dangerous tyre failure warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,759 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 4-year period of low annual usage (2021-2024) is noted.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inner edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Dangerous Nearside Front Tyre defect recorded on 2016-03-07 (MOT 20,432mi).
  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (2016, 2025).
  • Major Emissions failures on 2018-05-08 and 2024-11-19, indicating potential underlying issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-17, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle.
  • No recent major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects.
