AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Kia has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 13,095 miles. The recent windscreen wiper failure and low annual usage suggest potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows only 26,870 miles over 8 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising a mileage integrity concern.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,870 mi over 8 years (typical: 58,522 mi, n=111 vehicles).
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2022, Jun 2023) indicate a pattern of wear, suggesting poor maintenance.
- Offside Windscreen wiper failed majorly on 2023-06-29, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being below average.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates strong safety features.
