2021 KIA Ceed 3 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · CA21 BHF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 May 2026 at 85,390 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests a consistent maintenance regime where the previous owner has proactively addressed any mechanical issues before they could result in a failure during the annual testing process. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 71,019 miles and the 2025 test at 80,208 miles, the car covered 9,189 miles in a year, followed by another 5,182 miles leading to the most recent test. This level of mileage is typical of long-distance motorway use, which often results in less wear on the clutch and brake system components compared to frequent short-distance city driving. While the MOT record is clean of structural or mechanical failures, buyers should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically the front bushes and coil springs, is necessary given the vehicle has surpassed 85,000 miles. The brakes should be checked for thinning discs and uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than the remaining life of the hardware. Additionally, the mild hybrid system requires verification of battery health and charging to ensure the stop-start function remains operating correctly under load.
