2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · AF61 UKM

The 2011 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following a pass on 2 April 2026 at 144,260 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test with no defects recorded, though it had failed two days earlier on 31 March 2026 at 144,245 miles under a no-defects failure entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly in April 2025 at 137,359 miles and again in April 2024 at 128,731 miles, the latter preceded by a same-day failure on 8 April 2024 at 128,724 miles also showing no recorded defects. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,600 miles per year against the 144,260 miles now shown. The record moves from 128,724 miles in April 2024 to 137,359 miles by April 2025, then to 144,245 miles by late March 2026, reflecting steady annual use of around 7,500 to 8,600 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The clean advisory history across all listed tests indicates no flagged consumable wear or structural concerns were logged by testers. Given the repeated no-defect failure entries on 31 March 2026 and 8 April 2024, a buyer should verify with the seller what triggered those outcomes, as DVSA systems sometimes log failures for missing documentation or unpresented components rather than physical faults. The absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across four years is a positive sign, but at 144,260 miles the car is due a close in-person check of underside structural integrity and drivetrain condition that MOT summaries alone will not expose. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper operation, and exhaust emissions against the clean record, since these items wear between tests. The owner clearly kept the car to a passable standard annually, yet the twin same-day fail-pass pairs hint at loose test preparation rather than neglect of core mechanics.
