2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · EK09 CVE

The vehicle remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 72,634 miles passed with no defects, matching the unchanged outcome of the previous annual checks. The absence of recurring faults indicates a stable maintenance trend and no emerging mechanical or structural issues. Mileage growth is modest and evenly spaced. From 64,052 miles in May 2023 to 72,634 miles in January 2026 the car accumulated roughly 8,600 miles, averaging about 2,800 miles per year. This is well below the 4,273 miles per year typical for a 17‑year‑old model, suggesting light usage or periods of inactivity. No sudden jumps or gaps appear in the record; each test occurs roughly a year apart, providing a clear, continuous history. A prospective buyer should still examine the usual wear items that are not captured in the MOT record. Check tyre tread depth, rim integrity, and wiper blade condition. Inspect brake discs and calipers for glazing or uneven wear, and confirm that all pads are within service limits. Verify suspension bushings, shock absorber seals, and steering linkages for play or corrosion. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust, and look for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis or body panels. Although the MOT history shows no faults, these routine checks will confirm that consumables and key mechanical components remain in good condition.
