2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · CV09 NWY

The 2009 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 119,079 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 12 October 2023 at 106,595 miles, which was immediately retested the same day and passed with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging around 7,005 miles per year. The record shows 101,182 miles on 27 October 2022, rising to 106,595 by 12 October 2023, then 112,444 on 10 October 2024, and 119,079 on 23 October 2025. Annual increments of roughly 5,000 to 6,500 miles reflect consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high accumulation. The clean pass history across all dated entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within test limits. Given the absence of any recorded advisories for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the DVSA data alone shows no recurring wear trends requiring concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and verify suspension bush condition, as MOT passes at this age do not certify component life remaining beyond the test day. The same day fail and pass in October 2023 warrants a glance at the original test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect.
