2015 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · VOX 1T

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent inspection conducted on 5 August 2025 at 43,181 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets all statutory requirements. Following a brief failure in August 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record through two subsequent annual tests, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing any issues raised by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 5,580 miles, moving from 37,601 to 43,181 miles. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown. The consistent interval between tests suggests a regular maintenance schedule rather than long periods of total immob. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than just mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perish, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or seizing, as low-frequency use can lead to surface rust. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust on the sills and subframes is essential, despite the clean MOT history to date.
