2020 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · BV20 HCX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. While the most recent test on January 15, 2026 at 16,086 miles resulted in a failure due to ineffective nearside and offside windscreen wipers, the vehicle was immediately rectified and passed on the same day with no further defects recorded. This indicates that the owner is attentive to addressing minor safety failures as they are flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual growth, moving from 7,304 miles in January 2023 to 16,086 miles by early 2026. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips, which typically results in less wear on major mechanical components like the engine, suspension bushings, and brake pads. However, such low mileage can sometimes imply the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which may lead to flat spotting on tyres or fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluids that age over time regardless of mileage. Since the MOT history shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the primary concerns are the condition of the wiper blades and the age of the tyres, given the recent wiper failure. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-frequency use often leaves pitting on the metal surfaces. The absence of advisories across the last three tests suggests the chassis integrity and suspension geometry remain well-preserved.
