2011 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · OV11 AGX

The 2011 KIA CEED has a mixed maintenance history with the most recent test in 2024 resulting in a pass with advisories. The trend is worsening, with a notable increase in the number of faults since the 2023 test. The vehicle has passed two consecutive tests with advisories regarding oil leaks, corroded coil springs, and under-body corrosion. The recorded mileage of 112,570 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, approximately 7,505 miles per year. There is a notable gap in mileage accumulation between 2019 and 2022, with a 20,000-mile increase in just two years. The 2022 test also revealed a nearside front wheel bearing slightly noisy, and worn suspension arm pins or bushes, suggesting a potential for further wear on these components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake systems in person, as the history suggests recurring issues with coil spring corrosion, binding brakes, and worn suspension arm pins or bushes. The corroded coil springs and under-body corrosion also indicate potential structural integrity concerns. Furthermore, the vehicle's brake discs and pads should be inspected, as the 2017 test revealed worn brake discs. Additionally, the buyer should check the tyre condition, as the vehicle has a history of worn tyres, and the 2024 test flagged a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the required 1.6mm.
