2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YE61 ACJ

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 August 2025 at 142,595 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,506 miles per year. Between 22 August 2023 and 21 August 2025, the odometer rose from 133,627 to 142,595 miles, confirming steady usage of approximately 4,500 miles annually over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps or significant gaps in the records that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy use. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a fifteen year old vehicle with over 140,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the underside for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the lack of recorded faults, the previous owner appears to have managed basic upkeep well, but a physical check of the drivetrain and fluid levels is necessary to confirm the mechanical integrity beyond the basic MOT requirements.
