KIA CEED2015 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2015 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 109,297 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass issued on that date with no defects recorded. A failed entry also appears for the same day and mileage, yet no defects were listed against it, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual test from 2022 through 2025 returning a clean pass and zero advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,936 miles per year. The record shows 77,422 miles at the 24 August 2022 test, rising to 89,364 by 21 August 2023, 99,835 by 20 August 2024, and 109,297 by 22 August 2025. Annual increments of around 10,000 miles indicate consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high-mileage spikes. The supplied history is sparse but clean, offering no advisories on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across the five-year span. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm the condition of hidden sills or subframes. The tester recorded no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet age-related degradation of rubber suspension components remains probable at 109,297 miles. Verify the circumstances of the 22 August 2025 failure with the selling garage to confirm it was clerical and not a withheld mechanical rejection.
