2013 KIA Ceed 1.5L Diesel · MJ63 AOE

The 2013 Kia Cee'd passed its most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 at 201,059 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the record is sparse and shows two failed tests immediately followed by passes on adjacent dates with no defects logged, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical decline. Mileage stands at 201,059 against a 13-year life, an average of roughly 15,466 miles per year and high for the age. The odometer moved from 149,272 miles at the August 2023 pass to 178,047 at the August 2024 test, then jumped to 201,046 by August 2025, confirming steady annual use near 23,000 miles in the last year. No standing periods or missing annual tests appear; the gaps between tests are normal twelve-month intervals. The August 2024 and August 2025 failures at 178,046 and 201,046 miles carried no recorded defects yet reversed to passes days later, so the buyer should scrutinise the VOSA failure reasons not captured in this summary and confirm the vehicle was not failed on undocumented corrosion, lamp, or brake faults. Given the mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions should be physically inspected for wear beyond test limits. At 201,059 miles the drivetrain and structural integrity warrant a close look for fatigue not always visible in a clean MOT. Previous owners clearly kept the car in annual circulation with no advisories logged, but the high mileage means consumable and mechanical tolerances are nearer end-of-life than a lower-mileage example.
