2023 KIA Telluride 3.6L Petrol · AE72 EUN

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently in a state of deteriorating maintenance trend, as evidenced by the failure of the second MOT test recorded on 2025-04-01 at 19,544 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since the initial 29,764-mile test in March 2026, which was passed without defects. The gap between the most recent valid test and the failure on the second attempt suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to the cumulative wear of the engine, suspension, and drivetrain components. The mileage pattern is characterized by a significant accumulation of data points that, while roughly consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately three years, reveals a lack of stability. The odometer reading of 29,764 miles is typical for its age, but the lack of a passing MOT on the second test implies that the vehicle has been driven for a substantial period without the necessary diagnostic checks. This rapid mileage increase, coupled with the specific failures in the 2025-04-01 test, suggests that the vehicle may have been driven on longer distances or in more demanding conditions than previously recorded, potentially accelerating wear on critical systems such as the brakes and suspension. Given the failure of the second MOT and the recurring issues including the missing obligatory mirror, defective repeater lenses, and incorrect indicators, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks. The failure of the rear fog lamp and stop lamp, which are critical for visibility and safety, indicates a failure of the electrical systems and lighting assemblies. The offside headlamp aim being too high and the door mirror glass missing suggest that the vehicle may lack proper alignment, which is a serious structural risk. A thorough inspection is required to check for corrosion on exhaust emissions, structural integrity of the chassis, and the condition of brake discs and calipers, as these components are prone to failure under the current driving conditions.
