2016 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · FL66 HDN

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 47,341 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,734 miles per year. Between 2 September 2022 and 22 September 2025, the odometer rose from 28,128 to 47,341 miles. This indicates a steady, light usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation. The failure on 19 September 2024 was resolved immediately on 21 September 2024 at the same mileage, though the record does not specify the defect, implying a minor issue that was quickly rectified. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat spots on tyres. While the MOT history shows no flags for corrosion or suspension bushes, the lack of advisories over several years is unusual for a car of this age. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the brake discs for surface rust and check the battery health, as light usage often leads to premature electrical failure. The absence of recurring faults suggests a disciplined approach to basic upkeep. There are no indications of structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures in the provided data. The primary risk remains the potential for dormant faults that only emerge once the vehicle returns to a higher annual mileage cycle.
