2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · AF16 HRC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the April 2026 test at 124,697 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from March 2023 through to April 2026 returning a pass or a no-defect failure. The March 2026 failure at 124,664 miles is anomalous; the tester logged no defects, so the rejection likely stemmed from administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical condition. Mileage stands at 124,697 against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 12,470 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 93,360 in March 2023 to 104,356 by March 2024, then 116,949 by March 2025, and 124,697 by April 2026. Accumulation is linear at near 11–12k annually with no standing gaps or sudden surges. The sparse record shows clean passes only, implying the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test but leaves no visibility of underlying wear between appointments. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the ten-year age and high mileage. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. The clean advisories list means no recurring mechanical trend is evident, yet worn components at this mileage often escape annual testing until threshold limits are breached. Prior ownership appears disciplined on statutory upkeep, with the lone 2026 failure showing no recorded defect. Verify the reason for that rejection and confirm service history covers drivetrain intervals. Absence of flagged faults is not proof of component health beneath test thresholds.
