2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · CT60 DTF

The 2010 Kia Ceed currently holds a failed MOT status from the 30 October 2025 test at 167,232 miles, with no defects formally recorded against the failure. The maintenance trend is difficult to classify from the available data, though the vehicle passed cleanly in October 2024 at 159,644 miles after an earlier failure that same month, and showed no advisories across the 2022 to 2023 tests. The most recent failure leaves the car unroadworthy until the presenting fault is identified and rectified. Recorded mileage rose from 143,140 in November 2022 to 150,245 by October 2023, then to 159,644 in October 2024, and 167,232 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 7,500 to 8,600 miles per year across the recorded span, below the 10,452 annual average for the vehicle's age. The DVSA entries are sparse and show no advisories or defects, which suggests either conscientious test preparation or minimal mechanical scrutiny recorded by testers. A buyer must establish the reason for the October 2025 failure before purchase, as the absence of a listed defect offers no clue to the fault. Given the car's sixteen-year age and 167,232 miles, prior owners likely deferred non-essential upkeep despite clean tests. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion warrant hands-on inspection. The twin failures in October 2024 at identical mileage imply a rectified defect rather than ongoing neglect, yet the latest failure breaks a short passing run. Inspect exhaust emissions, structural integrity, and binding calipers on site, since the record alone cannot confirm roadworthiness.
