2020 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · CA69 KFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 December 2025 at 30,281 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from flagged faults in earlier years to a clean pass suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage over the recorded periods. Between December 2022 and January 2024, the car covered 6,466 miles, followed by a further 5,819 miles between January 2024 and December 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can lead to surface corrosion on braking hardware if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The records from December 2022 and January 2024 highlight recurring surface pitting and scoring across all four brake discs. While the 2025 test indicates these issues were likely resolved through replacement, the buyer should verify the current condition of the rotors and ensure the calipers are not seizing. Given the low mileage, it is also worth checking for minor surface rust on the exhaust system and suspension bushes which often occurs when cars are driven infrequently.
