2021 KIA Ceed 2 Crdi ISG Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · CF64 MCC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 September 2025, though the overall maintenance trend indicates a decline in condition compared to the previous year. While the 2024 test was entirely clean, the latest inspection has flagged several advisories across multiple systems. This shift suggests that the car is now reaching a stage where routine wear and tear is becoming evident, requiring a more proactive approach to maintenance to prevent these advisories from becoming failures in the next testing cycle. With a recorded mileage of 43,668 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged around 8,734 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for this class of vehicle, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. There are no indications of excessive mileage that would cause premature drivetrain fatigue, nor is the mileage low enough to suggest the detrimental effects of prolonged standing, such as seized calipers or perished seals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the reported wear on the front inner suspension arm bushes. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or when initiating steering inputs at low speeds. Additionally, the advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs across all four corners suggest that the braking surfaces are degrading. You should feel for any vibration or shudder through the brake pedal during deceleration, as scored discs can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased noise. The rear tyres are specifically noted as being damaged or perishing, which often manifests as fine cracking in the sidewalls due to age and rubber degradation. Inspect the tyre date codes and the sidewalls closely for signs of dry rot, as these will require immediate replacement to ensure structural integrity. Finally, given the age and the mild hybrid diesel powertrain, verify that the service history confirms regular oil changes and that there are no signs of diesel particulate filter issues, ensuring the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals.
