2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 AAE

The 2013 Kia Ceed presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 115,549 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at 115,547 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure, immediately rectified by the passing retest. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,888 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 101,722 miles in October 2022, 109,594 miles by October 2023, 112,695 miles in October 2024, and 115,549 miles by November 2025. The gaps between tests are consistent at around twelve months with no prolonged standing periods or sudden high-use spikes evident. The DVSA history is sparse and free of advisories across all five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 115,000-mile service life. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from age-related wear on consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades. The clean MOT trail suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance current, though no insight exists into interim servicing of drivetrain components. Verify service stamps and inspect structural integrity at chassis mounting points before purchase.
