2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · GK66 AEV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 42,968 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 4,297 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady but light, increasing from 25,043 miles in September 2021 to 42,968 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing cycle that would suggest periods of neglect or undocumented heavy use. Because the MOT record is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread suggests a diligent approach to maintenance. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A physical inspection should focus on items that do not always trigger MOT failures but suffer from low usage. Check for perished rubber seals, battery health, and potential flat spots on the tyres. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing and check the engine oil for signs of moisture contamination, which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods standing.
