2010 KIA Ceed Strike 1.4L Petrol · CFZ 5154

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-20 showed a pass at 116,102 miles, but this follows a series of failed tests in late 2024 and early 2025. The vehicle has had multiple failures within a 12-month period, including a failed test on 2025-09-27 (115,961 miles) and another on 2025-10-16 (116,075 miles). No defects were recorded in any of these entries, which is unusual for a failed test . This suggests the failures may have been due to minor issues or procedural oversights, but the frequency raises concerns about recurring mechanical issues . The pattern of failed tests over 14 months indicates a worsening trend , despite the latest pass. While no defects were noted, the high number of failed tests implies potential underlying problems with components like the brake system , suspension , or electrical systems . The vehicle’s mileage of 116,102 miles for a 16-year-old car is typical , suggesting average usage rather than extreme wear or under-use. However, the repeated failures may indicate unstable mechanical reliability, even if no serious defects were documented. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brake system , particularly wear on the front and rear brake pads , as well as brake discs . The suspension and steering components should also be checked for wear or corrosion , given the high mileage and frequent failures .
