2021 KIA Ceed 2 NAV Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FT21 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2025-06-05 MOT at 26,860 miles, but the preceding 2025-06-04 test at the same mileage recorded a failure with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests either a technical anomaly during testing or an unresolved issue that was rectified before the subsequent pass. No structural, suspension, or braking defects were noted in the valid tests, indicating the car has met minimum safety standards. However, the lack of detailed failure reasons limits definitive conclusions about underlying mechanical integrity. The mileage progression shows a significant jump from 19,118 miles in 2024-05-29 to 26,860 miles in 2025-06-05, reflecting an annualised increase of 7,742 miles over 13 months. This contrasts with the earlier five-year average of 5,372 miles per year, implying heavier usage in the past year. Such rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, though no advisories or failures were recorded. The sparse MOT history, with only three tests over five years, offers limited insight into long-term maintenance trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system for uneven wear or fluid leaks, as well as the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the mileage surge. Corrosion under the chassis and exhaust system integrity should also be checked, as low mileage can sometimes mask hidden rust. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the recent failure and limited data mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond recorded tests.
