2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · EY66 YFA

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently PASSED , but it requires a physical inspection to confirm the absence of structural integrity issues. The MOT record indicates a stable maintenance trend , with no evidence of a progressive deterioration pattern. However, the most recent test in September 2025 at 90,873 miles passed without defects, suggesting the vehicle has not accumulated significant wear since then. Regarding mileage accumulation, the data shows a rapid and irregular accumulation , particularly noted in the August 2022 test at 65,554 miles. This test revealed multiple failures in the front and rear tyres, including tread depths falling below the 1.6mm limit, which indicates that the vehicle has been driven for over a decade with a history of frequent servicing. While the mileage is high, the absence of a consistent pattern of failure suggests the issue is not a result of a single bad repair but rather a combination of factors including frequent servicing and potential wear on components like suspension bushes. Given the specific faults recorded in the 2022 test, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural corrosion, excessive wear, and alignment issues before proceeding. The flagged issues in the 2022 test, including the front and rear tyres, are critical because they are often the first to fail under heavy load or at higher speeds. A thorough visual check must be performed to identify signs of rust, excessive wear on suspension components, or binding calipers, as these structural risks can compromise the vehicle's safety and roadworthiness.
