2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · FP08 VTZ

The 2008 Kia Ceed presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent DVSA test on 1 August 2025 at 77,352 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The owner cleared the vehicle each time once initial administrative failures were resolved. The recorded mileage shows light use for an eighteen-year-old car. In the 14 August 2023 test the odometer read 71,156 miles. By 12 August 2024 it had risen to 74,360 miles, then 74,364 miles on 14 August 2024, and finally 77,352 miles at the 1 August 2025 test. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year, well below the national average. The sparse, clean record gives little insight into consumable wear, though low annual mileage often masks deteriorated rubber components and corrosion from prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age. The MOT history shows two failed entries on 12 August 2024 and 1 August 2025 at 74,360 and 77,352 miles respectively, both with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, but the tester logged no structural integrity checks or exhaust emissions concerns across the period. Given the absence of advisories, previous keepers likely maintained basic statutory compliance without neglect. Verify underside corrosion, tyre sidewall condition, and binding calipers in person, as these items escape detection on a clean MOT sheet yet degrade on low-mileage cars left idle.
