2014 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · CU64 OSN

The 2014 Kia Ceed presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 143,457 miles on 28 April 2025. The current MOT is valid until late April 2026, meaning the vehicle holds a relatively recent certificate. The record shows zero defects or advisories across all recorded tests, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural failures. A buyer can view the maintenance trajectory as consistent, with the vehicle meeting the required standards at every successful inspection. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,955 miles annually. Between the April 2023 test at 134,372 miles and the April 2024 test at 138,993 miles, the Ceed covered 4,621 miles. The following year, up to the April 2025 test at 143,457 miles, it accumulated 4,464 miles. This steady, linear progression suggests regular, consistent use without prolonged periods of standing or sudden high-mileage surges. The data set is sparse, spanning only three years, but the increments remain uniform. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the anomaly of two failed tests on the exact same dates as the passes—28 April 2025 and 26 April 2024—warrants scrutiny. Both failures list no defects, which typically points to an aborted test, an equipment issue, or an administrative error rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should verify the physical condition of the vehicle independently, focusing on common wear areas for this mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as the MOT record offers no advisory history to confirm the absence of rust or corrosion.
