This 2017 Kia has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 31,179 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with recurring tyre advisories, suggests potential underlying issues or neglect.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: while annual usage was normal (9,133 mi/yr) from 2020 to 2024, it dropped to only 851 miles/year from 2024 to 2026, indicating a significant change in usage patterns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 851 miles/year recorded between Feb 2024 and Mar 2026, significantly lower than prior usage.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Six advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2021, Feb 2023, Mar 2026) for worn/damaged tyres.
- Brake system wear: Multiple advisories for worn brake pads and discs (Mar 2022, Feb 2025) and a dangerous rear brake pad failure (Mar 2022).
- Brake failure in 2022: Dangerous rear brake pad failure on 2022-03-08, immediately rectified but indicates past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 7 of 8 tests passed with no dangerous defects, showing general roadworthiness.
- Recent MOT pass: Valid MOT until 2027-03-13, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent mileage (pre-2024): Normal annual usage of 9,133 miles/year from 2020 to 2024.
- No major structural failures: No recurring major failures on suspension, steering, or engine components.
