2016 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · CV66 DPF

The 2016 Kia Ceed presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 17 January 2025 at 95,227 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle cleared the 26 January 2024 test at 78,452 miles with no advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical condition across the latest two annual cycles. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,523 miles per year against the 95,227 miles recorded. The records show a steady climb from 63,218 miles on 24 January 2023 to 78,452 miles in January 2024 and then 95,227 miles by January 2025, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA history is sparse and clean beyond two anomalous failed tests on the same days as passes in 2023 and 2024, both at near-identical mileages and with no defects logged, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and near-100,000-mile mileage, as these components accrue wear invisible to a defect-free MOT. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries at 63,218 and 78,448 miles imply no outstanding structural corrosion or exhaust emission issues were raised by testers. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of any advisories across five tests at this age is unusual and warrants verification of underbody condition and consumable items such as tyre tread and wiper blades during a physical viewing.
