HIGH RISK

This car is showing high levels of risk associated with purchasing a used car.

AIWhy this rating?

This 2016 Kia Cerato has a moderate odometer reading of 83,142 km and a High Risk (RED) rating despite an overall score of 77/100. It is reassuring to note that background checks are verified clear regarding finance, PPSR, stolen, or written-off status, and both the engine and road test components showed good results.

The rating is primarily driven by several defects in the body and wheels. There are paint depth discrepancies and fair condition reports for the roof, RHR door, rear bumper bar, and LHF fender. Furthermore, the front brakes and both left-hand rims (LHF and LHR) were found to be in fair condition.

While the interior is well-maintained, you should address the identified bodywork and brake issues before purchase. These concrete findings offset the otherwise solid mechanical foundation of the vehicle.
