AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Kia has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 46,932 miles. The car's age, lack of recent MOT, and a 2019 advisory for worn rear brake discs present significant risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 46,932 miles over 21 years, averaging 8,329 miles per year, which is consistent with UK average.

Things to check

  • Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT (expired 2020-10-15) — cannot be legally driven.
  • First MOT test was in 2019 (Mar 2019), but no subsequent MOT tests have been recorded since.
  • Rear brake disc advisory from 2019 (Mar 2019) indicates significant wear that was never addressed.
  • The 2005 Kia is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No recorded test failures across any MOT history.
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent and shows no anomalies or fraud indicators.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its age.
