This 2016 Kia has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 22,803 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and failures warrant a thorough inspection.

Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (Sep 2019, Sep 2020) and advisories (Jul 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Multiple tyre failures (Sep 2020, Sep 2021) and advisories (Jul 2025) indicate a history of maintenance needs.
- Dangerous front brake pad failure (Sep 2020) highlights a critical safety component needing attention.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory (7,927 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, no anomalies.
- No major structural or engine failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
