2012 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FL12 LSO

The 2012 Kia Ceed presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. The April 2025 examination at 97,138 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met statutory requirements at that point. The maintenance trend across the available history shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisory pattern. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 75,190 miles in January 2022, rising to 83,009 by January 2023, then 91,876 in May 2024 and 97,138 in April 2025. That equates to roughly 6,900 miles per year with no abnormal gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with every pass carrying no defects logged and only a single failed entry on 10 April 2025 at 97,137 miles that was rectified and passed one day later with no defects cited. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory detail in the record. The clean MOT sheets do not confirm absence of corrosion or wear, only that the tester recorded none at the time. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions cannot be assumed sound solely from a defect-free history. Given the car stood at 97,137 miles on 10 April 2025 before an immediate pass at 97,138, the prior failure reason is undocumented in the supplied data and warrants a check of the full DVSA failure sheet before purchase.
