2015 KIA Ceed 1.4L Diesel · FD65 LKV

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of passes over the last several years. The most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 32,226 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a continuous trend of defect-free results dating back to 2018, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,930 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 4,132 miles, while the most recent interval between October 2024 and October 2025 saw an increase of 1,798 miles. This pattern indicates infrequent use, which can often lead to better preservation of mechanical components but may also result in dried seals or flat-spotting on tyres if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The only recorded failure occurred on 06 October 2020 at 17,017 miles due to low headlamp aim on both the offside and nearside front lamps. This was a minor lighting adjustment issue that was resolved immediately, as the vehicle passed its retest on the same day. There are no historical mentions of corrosion, brake binding, suspension wear, or exhaust emissions failures, which is atypical for a vehicle of this age but consistent with the low mileage recorded. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that may suffer from lack of use rather than heavy wear. Check the condition of the battery, the integrity of rubber hoses and seals, and look for signs of tyre flat-spotting or age-related perishing. While the MOT history shows no structural or braking concerns, verifying the service intervals against the low mileage will confirm if the vehicle has received regular oil changes despite the light usage.
