2018 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · FN18 XHL

The 2018 Kia Ceed presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 55,052 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the full history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,882 per year against the vehicle's eight-year age, which is typical for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 24,082 miles in March 2022, 33,627 by March 2023, 43,104 in April 2024, then 44,152 in January 2025 and 55,052 in January 2026. A minor scheduling shift occurred between the 2024 and 2025 tests, stretching the interval to roughly nine months, but no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident from the figures. The DVSA data is sparse in faults, showing only pass results with no component-specific comments. With no advisories raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five tests, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of those wear items. Low annual use can mask perished rubber components and surface structural rust that a pass test does not always record. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm tyre condition, as consumable wear is not reflected in a defect-free MOT.
