2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · DC66 BOJ

The 2016 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 November 2025 at 65,545 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in October 2024 at 59,181 miles, November 2023 at 56,114 miles, and October 2022 at 53,634 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,554 miles per year against the 65,545 total, which is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, low accumulation: 2,480 miles between the October 2022 and November 2023 tests, then 3,067 miles to October 2024, and 6,364 miles to the November 2025 pass. No rapid wear periods or standing gaps appear in the data, and the clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural checks current. A buyer should still confirm the November 2025 failure cause in person, since a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or lighting-check anomaly rather than worn parts. With no advisories ever logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the underbody and steering joints warrant a visual check for early moisture-related rust given the car's age. Given the absence of any flagged tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers in the history, the Ceed's record implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless verify exhaust emissions and structural integrity, as MOT passes with zero advisories can miss gradual degradation between annual tests.
