Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 77,789 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the car is currently in a good mechanical state. This follows a streak of clean passes in previous years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to meet MOT standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-medium usage, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 55,906 miles in December 2022 to 77,789 miles in late 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized components, perished fluids, or brake corrosion. The gap between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests shows a regular schedule of annual testing. While the recent history is largely clean, the failure in December 2022 at 55,906 miles warrants a brief mention. Although the specific reason for that failure was not listed in the summary, the immediate pass on the same day indicates the fault was rectified quickly. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arm joints, as these are common points of wear on Kia Ceeds of this age and mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, the structural integrity and braking components appear well-maintained.
