2010 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · DF59 KYH

The most recent MOT result from February 2026 passed, but it noted several significant corrosion and wear issues on the rear suspension components and tyres. A recurring mechanical pattern is the presence of significant corrosion noted on the rear sub-frame, suspension arms, and coil spring across multiple recent inspections. The trend in the MOT history shows a pattern of persistent structural corrosion and wear, which indicates a worsening condition rather than stability or improvement. The mileage of 110,450 miles for a 2010 model is typical for its age, suggesting moderate use, but the specific issues noted point towards components that have been subjected to stress over time. A buyer must immediately inspect the rear suspension mounting points and sub-frame for the noted corrosion, as this is a serious structural concern. Secondly, the condition of the rear tyres, specifically noting them as slightly damaged or cracking or perishing in the most recent report, requires immediate attention. Finally, check the battery security as a potential electrical safety concern was flagged in a previous failure report.
