2017 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · ACC 1W

The 2017 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 June 2025 at 31,317 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records supplied. The DVLA data shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. Two failed tests on the same dates as passes in June 2024 and June 2025, both at identical mileages and with no defects logged, point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than any vehicle condition concern. Mileage sat at 25,531 in June 2023, rose to 28,470 by June 2024, and reached 31,317 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,800 miles per year, well below the 3,480 average implied by the vehicle's age. Low annual use over nine years suggests light commuting or prolonged standing periods. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc scoring across all entries indicates the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing in order, though the paired fail-pass entries imply some clerical inconsistency at the garage rather than skipped upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Standing time accelerates perishing of rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and wiper blades, none of which the MOT advisories captured. Check the underbody and sills for structural rust where moisture may have gathered during idle months. Verify the brake calipers are free and not binding after the car's low-mileage rest, and confirm fluid levels and coolant condition. The record shows no recurring mechanical trend, but the same-day fail entries warrant a request for the full DVSA test certificates to rule out any omitted defect line.
