AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2020 Kia has 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,831 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these problems suggests a need for thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,809 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles annually.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2025-09-24 and 2025-02-28 indicate critical safety neglect.
- Recurring brake disc advisories on 2023-02-20, 2024-02-20, and 2025-02-28 suggest ongoing wear.
- Major suspension failure on 2025-09-24 for the offside front trailing arm is a significant structural concern.
- Persistent wiper issues (2024-02-20 and 2025-02-28) point to a pattern of minor but critical maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,809 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- All MOT failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or subsequent days.
