2014 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · AV14 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 October 2025 at 112,651 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between November 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 26,735 miles, indicating a period of higher intensity. However, the usage moderated back to roughly 10,000 miles per annum in the most recent interval. The single recorded failure on 30 October 2023 at 91,846 miles was rectified immediately on the same day, which indicates the owner was proactive in addressing faults once they were identified. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to a Kia exceeding the 110,000-mile mark. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of wear at this mileage before they trigger an MOT failure. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for corrosion on the structural sills and wheel arches is necessary, as the MOT does not flag surface rust until it becomes a structural concern. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear will ensure the recent clean records reflect a well-maintained mechanical state.
