Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate suspension and brake remedial work. This 2013 KIA CEED diesel has passed its most recent MOT but has a history of repeated failures on safety-critical components.
Given the February 2026 failure for excessive track rod end play, anti-roll bar dust cover failure, and inoperative offside rear parking brake, confirm with the seller that all listed defects were properly repaired before the same-day pass. Ask to see the repair invoice or evidence of new parts, as a same-day fail-and-pass can indicate rushed work.
