2012 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · AX12 GVJ

The roadworthiness status of this Kia Ceed is sound, demonstrated by a highly stable maintenance trend culminating in a clean pass on 12 September 2025 at 114,991 miles. The single same-day failure recorded alongside that pass indicates a minor administrative rectification rather than a mechanical defect, as no structural or component faults were logged during the testing process. The vehicle has accumulated 114,991 miles over its fourteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,200 miles annually. This rate of use aligns closely with national averages for a diesel or petrol hatchback of this vintage. The test history shows consistent annual presentations to testing stations every September, reflecting steady use without extended periods of inactivity or severe mileage spikes that might otherwise accelerate mechanical fatigue. The MOT history is entirely devoid of advisories or major component failures across the past four recorded tests from 2022 to 2025. This exceptional cleanliness implies that previous owners addressed routine maintenance proactively before testing. Despite the spotless digital record, a physical inspection should prioritize consumable items such as brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, and structural corrosion beneath the sills and subframes, as these wear items naturally degrade regardless of historical test outcomes.
