2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LD13 AAU

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 9 April 2025 at 84,161 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2022, indicating a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 6,474 miles per year. Usage patterns appear consistent across the recorded history. The vehicle covered 5,921 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, and 7,587 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. The most recent interval shows a slight decrease in annual usage, with 5,082 miles added between April 2024 and April 2025. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, the 2023 failure and immediate pass within four miles suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may not prioritise, such as the condition of the interior trim and the service history for oil and filter changes. Given the lack of flagged corrosion or structural issues in the DVSA data, a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains prudent for a thirteen-year-old chassis.
