AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Kia has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 11,049 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (2,653 mi/yr) raises significant odometer integrity concerns, making this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critically low mileage of 40,199 miles over 15 years, averaging only 2,653 miles per year, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 40,199 mi (15 years old) — bottom 10% of similar KIAs.
- Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Upper Macpherson strut top bush (Feb 2024 FAIL) and Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint (Feb 2024 FAIL).
- Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside Rear Stop lamp not working (Jan 2019 FAIL), Nearside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (Jan 2019 FAIL), and multiple tyre wear/perishing advisories (2014–2017).
- Recurring brake pad advisories: Front Inner Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Feb 2026 ADVISORY) and Rear Inner Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Feb 2026 ADVISORY).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
