AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Kia has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 12,420 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a 1.5L T-GDI engine, raises significant concerns about its true condition and potential for hidden issues.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage, averaging 1,970 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 28 miles recorded between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026, and a significant drop in annual usage from 2017 to 2024.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 18,043 miles over 9 years (Feb 2026) — indicates minimal use or potential issues.
- Mileage dropped dramatically from 2017 to 2024: 12,420 miles in 3 years (Feb 2020), then only 189 miles in 1 year (Feb 2023–2024).
- One unexplained MOT failure on 2024-02-24 with no defect details provided — requires immediate clarification.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-01, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retesting.
- No dangerous defects recorded across all MOT tests, showing a basic level of safety maintenance.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (despite anomalies) suggest a single owner or consistent use patterns.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
