AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2021 Kia has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 32,547 miles. The low annual mileage is a positive, but the suspension history warrants a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 7,014 miles/year, averaging 32,547 miles by September 2024 and 36,396 miles by March 2026, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Major suspension failure on 2025-03-19 for offside front arm bush, though immediately rectified.
- Nearside front suspension arm advisory on 2025-03-19, just before the major failure, suggests a pattern of wear.
- Low annual mileage (7,014 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) may indicate infrequent use or short journeys.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT record with no recurring failures or dangerous defects since the initial suspension repair.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no anomalies or signs of odometer fraud.
- Recent MOT expiry of 2027-03-20 provides peace of mind for the next two years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for this model.
