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 79% pass rate and 32,817 miles. The pattern of neglect and immediate retest passes raises significant safety and reliability concerns.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,124 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2018-07-18 and 2024-08-07 indicate chronic neglect.
- Dangerous brake failure on 2024-08-07 shows critical safety systems were compromised.
- Recurring major failures in steering (2020, 2022, 2023) and suspension (2023) point to systemic issues.
- The 2018-07-18 advisory for 'undertray and engine covers fitted obscuring view of engine compartment' is a safety hazard.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Consistent, normal mileage accumulation over 13 years, averaging 8,124 miles/year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT records.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
