2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FN13 TZT

The 2013 Kia Ceed presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 19 May 2025 at 80,153 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 20 February 2024 at 69,787 miles where a pass and a faultless fail both occurred. Such paired entries suggest administrative or process anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, and no advisories or faults have been raised across the three years of data. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 68,048 miles at the February 2023 test, rose marginally to 69,787 by February 2024, then climbed to 80,153 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,166 miles annually, with a slightly higher accumulation in the final fourteen months. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect or severe duty cycles. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues were flagged in any test. The absence of advisories across 2023 to 2025 indicates previous owners addressed consumables before each examination or the car saw gentle use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT pass records do not capture early-stage corrosion or worn suspension components that fall within tolerance. Given the duplicated pass-and-fail entries with zero defects, verify the V5C and DVSA status to confirm the May 2025 failure was rectified or withdrawn. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and brake caliper operation in person, since these consumables are tested only at limits and may be near replacement despite the clean record.
