2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YE61 AEB

This 2011 Kia Ceed presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 124,629 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 5 November 2025 and 8 February 2024, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,309 miles per year. Between 8 February 2024 and 28 January 2025, the car covered 9,250 miles. A more recent increase is evident between January 2025 and November 2025, where the odometer rose by 8,044 miles in less than a year. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent perished seals and seized brake calipers. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Most cars from this era typically show signs of wear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust system. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, it provides little data on the actual condition of consumables. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged if the car was well-maintained. A physical inspection should focus on the brake discs and tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit. Given the lack of recorded defects, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is the priority. The data suggests a disciplined approach to MOT compliance, but it does not confirm a comprehensive mechanical service regime.
