2016 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · VE 5188

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 December 2025 at 47,457 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car remains in a good mechanical state. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 41,821 miles, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to ensuring the vehicle meets all DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,746 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage patterns, with only 5,636 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025, and another 6,001 miles in the year preceding that. This low-frequency use typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, low-mile vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should note the single failure on 11 December 2023 at 35,818 miles, which was rectified immediately to allow a pass on the same day. While the record does not specify the exact reason for that failure, the physical inspection should focus on ensuring that any rectified fault does not recur. Given the age and low mileage, it is essential to check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes for cracking, as these parts age based on time rather than just distance.
