2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 97,790 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the car has since passed through subsequent tests without further mechanical or structural advisories over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 87,981 miles and the June 2024 test at 92,556 miles, the car covered 4,575 miles, while another 5,234 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of seals and rubber components. While the records show no recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this generation of Kia Ceed. Given the mileage is approaching 100,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these often show fatigue at this interval. The buyer should also check for early surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT tester only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold.
