2015 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · SX64 AHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 95,434 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the significant issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This clean result contrasts sharply with the December 2024 failure, where the vehicle exhibited multiple critical faults related to the suspension and tyre tread depth. At 95,434 miles, this eleven-year-old Kia has covered an average of approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical domestic usage patterns. The record shows consistent annual testing, with mileage increasing by roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles between most intervals. However, the gap between January 2021 and December 2021 tests shows a shorter interval of only 7,090 miles, suggesting a period of lower use or a change in ownership leading up to the 2024 failure. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The 2024 failure at 88,276 miles flagged excessively worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms and rear trailing arms. While the vehicle has passed since, the recurring nature of these failures suggests that the rubber components are under significant stress or that alignment issues may be causing premature wear. Additionally, the history of uneven tyre wear noted in 2021, 2022, and 2024 indicates a persistent alignment fault or worn components that needs to be verified to prevent rapid tyre replacement.
