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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 12,984 miles. The recent low mileage and recurring minor electrical issues warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,921 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a recent 1-year period of very low usage (May 2024 to Mar 2025) is notable.
Things to check
- Head gasket failure reported by previous owner — a major structural concern for a 2013 diesel.
- Engine oil advisory from Oct 2018 and Feb 2026 suggests ongoing consumption issues.
- Recurring position lamp and registration plate lamp advisories (2018, 2026) indicate persistent electrical gremlins.
- Recent very low annual mileage (May 2024 to Mar 2025) after consistent use may indicate a change in driving or storage.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,921 miles/year, well below UK average, suggests light use.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety failures.
