2016 KIA CEED1.6L Petrol

The 2016 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 57,238 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous fail on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in June 2024 at 52,011 miles, May 2023 at 43,479 miles, and June 2022 at 35,101 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent annual compliance and no worsening condition across the record. The odometer reads 57,238 miles against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,724 miles per year. This is low for the age. The gap between the June 2022 test at 35,101 miles and the May 2023 test at 43,479 miles shows 8,378 miles added, then 8,532 miles to June 2024 at 52,011 miles, then only 5,227 miles to May 2025 at 57,238 miles. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; the low yearly use suggests lighter commuting or extended standing periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likelihood of prolonged static storage between short trips. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns across the five entries. The duplicated 29 May 2025 result with a no-defect fail warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal show a valid live certificate before purchase.
