2021 KIA Ceed 1.5L Petrol · AA08 COM

The Kia Ceed presents a current roadworthy status following a passed test on 2026-03-10 at 139,997 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable in the sense that the vehicle now holds a clean certificate, yet the record shows two immediate prior failures on 2026-03-02 and 2025-12-11 at 139,990 and 139,444 miles respectively, both cleared with no defects recorded. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline, and the most recent pass confirms the car left the test bay compliant. The odometer reads 139,997 miles against a 2021 build, equating to roughly 28,000 miles per year which is high for a five-year-old car. Mileage moved from 135,813 on 2025-07-02 to 139,450 by 2025-12-22, a 3,637-mile spread over under six months, then jumped only 547 miles to the March 2026 tests. The data is sparse with just five entries and no advisories or defects ever noted, so we cannot chart wear on consumables or suspension from the record itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the annual load this mileage imposes on drivetrain and running gear. The two failure entries with zero defects suggest the vehicle may have been presented with minor non-recorded issues such as tyre tread or wiper condition, so verify those consumables directly. Check underneath for corrosion and assess structural integrity, as the MOT history offers no visibility of such faults being monitored over time.
