Buying Tips for the 2011 Kia Ceed (ED)
- ✓A straight-driving, quiet ED with good history is worth paying for because the cheapest cars often need several MOT jobs at once
- ✓CRDi cars can still be excellent mile-eaters, but only if clutch, flywheel and emissions upkeep has not been deferred
- ✓Listen for suspension thumps and check the steering carefully on late facelift cars
- ✓Inspect the rear of the car for tired bushes, brake corrosion and budget tyres that hint at neglect
