2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LD13 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-25 at 84,401 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a FAIL with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests a potential data entry error, though the absence of recorded faults in both tests implies no critical issues at that time. The maintenance trend remains stable over the past four years, with no recurring defects or escalating concerns. Annual MOTs align with typical usage patterns, and the lack of advisories or failures indicates consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,401 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 6,492 miles annually, a rate consistent with average usage. MOT records show steady mileage progression: 66,375 (2022) to 72,381 (2023), 78,686 (2024), and 84,401 (2025), with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. This suggests regular, predictable usage rather than periods of inactivity or excessive wear. The absence of recurring issues in the history reflects a lack of systemic faults, though the vehicle’s age necessitates closer scrutiny of components prone to degradation. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop gradually. The exhaust system and body corrosion, particularly in older models, warrant attention, as they may not trigger MOT failures until advanced stages. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued roadworthiness.
