Our Verdict
Exercise moderate caution with this 2011 Kia Ceed, keeping in mind its high mileage of 149,268 miles and history of test failures. While recent tests in 2024 and 2025 resulted in passes without recorded defects, potential buyers should budget for future wear and tear.
When inspecting this Kia Ceed, look closely at the mechanical health of the 1.5-litre diesel engine and the clutch, as high-mileage diesels often require costly component replacements. Verify the supporting paperwork to see if the recent MOT passes were preceded by remedial work during the failed tests. Negotiate the price with the vehicle's high mileage and mixed testing history in mind, ensuring you have funds set aside for upcoming maintenance.
The 1582.0cc diesel engine typically offers competitive fuel economy on longer journeys, which may offset some costs for high-mileage drivers. Vehicle Excise Duty and insurance group ratings for this 2011 model sit in moderate brackets, though older high-mileage diesels can occasionally incur higher repair bills. Factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, you should expect an estimated annual running cost between £1,200 and £1,500.
Pay close attention to model-specific weak points identified in aggregate data, particularly the headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms. Check the suspension components thoroughly for signs of wear and tear, and ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth across all corners. Given the mileage of 149,268 miles, examine the brakes, exhaust system, and steering components closely during a test drive.
This black 2011 Kia Ceed is powered by a 1582.0cc diesel engine and has accumulated 149,268 miles. The MOT history records passes in April 2025, April 2024, and April 2023, preceded by initial failures in March 2024 and April 2003 (noting the test dates provided). The mileage is significantly above the national average for a vehicle of this age, reflecting heavy use over its lifetime.
The Kia Ceed has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with common failure items typically involving headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
