2014 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · FH14 UFA

The 2014 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 78,975 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Two days earlier, on 4 August 2025 at 78,970 miles, the vehicle failed without any defects listed on the record, a pattern consistent with an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression shows light, consistent use across the available history. The car covered 37,301 miles by 19 July 2022, rose to 52,565 miles at the 9 August 2023 test, then 63,403 miles on 31 July 2024, and reached 78,975 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 15,000 miles per year between recorded tests, below the 12-year age average of 6,581 miles annually implied by the total. The DVSA record is sparse, with five clean tests and no advisories, so no wear trends on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Absence of advisories does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc condition at 78,975 miles. The unexplained fail on 4 August 2025 warrants checking the VOSA failure reason with the test centre to rule out a latent emissions or structural integrity concern missed on the subsequent pass. Given the low yearly mileage, prolonged standing periods may have promoted corrosion on underbody members or brake calipers. Examine subframes, sills, and brake components for binding or rust before purchase.
