2018 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FJ67 KKR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 11 December 2025 at 81,475 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While a failure was noted on 10 September 2025 at 76,146 miles, the immediate pass just one day later suggests a minor component-related failure that was rectified instantly rather than a deep-seated mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between July 2024 at 56,644 miles and September 2025 at 76,151 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just fourteen months. This acceleration in use typically accelerates the wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings. However, the frequency of tests in 2025 shows the owner has been proactive in monitoring the vehicle's condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, given the higher mileage accumulation over the last year. Check for signs of play in control arm bushes or perished shock absorbers. Since the September 2025 failure was not detailed in the summary, the buyer should verify the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a larger fluid leak or deteriorating exhaust component. The lack of structural corrosion advisories across the history suggests the chassis remains sound for its age.
