2011 KIA Ceed 2 Ecodynamics CRDI89 1.6L Heavy oil · BD61 AAV

This 2011 Kia Ceed presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 19 April 2025 at 149,268 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,951 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 5,174 miles added between April 2023 and April 2024, and a further 4,774 miles added by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps or significant gaps in the mileage logs that would suggest long periods of standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the car failed tests on 4 April 2023 and 27 March 2024, the records show no specific defects recorded for those failures. This lack of detail is atypical and suggests the faults were either minor or corrected immediately before the retest. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, such as worn suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Given the 149,268 mile odometer reading, check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the engine mounts. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common weak spots for this era of vehicle that can develop between annual tests.
