2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · CV61 WVB

The 2011 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 96,197 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 84,984 miles in July 2021, rising to 87,160 by July 2022, 90,040 in July 2023, 91,419 in July 2024, and 96,197 in July 2025. That equates to roughly 2,800 miles per year across the logged period, below the lifetime average of 6,413, suggesting lighter recent use. The DVSA history is sparse in advisories, with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes at this age do not certify absence of developing rust. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet components such as suspension bushes and brake discs warrant physical checks given the vehicle's age and low annual use, which can mask perished rubber and surface pitting. Previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a basic passing standard with no deferred consumable faults. The clean record implies steady but minimal upkeep rather than proactive mechanical investment, so pre-purchase scrutiny of tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition remains sensible.
