2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FN58 ORG

The 2008 Kia Ceed presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 29 September 2023 at 159,092 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 6 October 2022 test at 139,831 miles, also with no advisories. The history shows no recurring mechanical faults and no worsening pattern across the supplied entries. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,838 miles per year against the 159,092 miles recorded. The gap between the September 2021 pass at 130,574 miles and the October 2022 pass at 139,831 miles reflects about 9,257 miles covered in thirteen months, consistent with ordinary use. The record is sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged and both dated days apart from subsequent passes in 2021 and 2022, showing no defects were formally recorded on failure. The September 2022 and September 2021 failures at 139,816 and 130,572 miles respectively carry no listed defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a 2008 chassis. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of advisories in the official log. Given the clean trailing record and ordinary mileage, the Ceed shows signs of reasonable upkeep by prior owners who addressed test requirements promptly. Verify the service history independently and confirm the 2023 pass remains the latest valid certificate, as no test appears logged beyond that date relative to today's position in July 2026.
