2013 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · AV13 EHR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on 14 May 2026 at 47,045 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a period of minor electrical failures. Between 2024 and 2025, the car failed twice due to non-functional position and side repeater bulbs, but these issues were rectified prior to the subsequent tests, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT compliance requirements once they are identified. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,045 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage is consistent throughout the history, with the vehicle covering only 3,000 miles between May 2025 and 3,044 miles by May 2026. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the data highlights a risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components which do not benefit from regular use during long periods of standing. A buyer must inspect the tyres closely, as the record shows a persistent pattern of cracking and perishing from 2020 through to 2023. Even with sufficient tread, the age of the rubber likely exceeds its structural integrity due to the low annual mileage. The 2023 test also flagged worn brake discs and a binding nearsside front caliper in 2021; a physical inspection should verify that the brake system remains free of seizing and that the discs have not developed significant surface corrosion from periods of inactivity.
