2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · FP09 TXO

This 2009 Kia Ceed passed its most recent MOT on 25 August 2022 with no defects recorded. The vehicle is now nearly four years past that test, so its current roadworthiness is unknown and a fresh MOT should be your first step before purchase. The mileage history shows a curious pattern. The car was recorded at 75,131 miles on 23 August 2022 when it failed its MOT, then two days later on 25 August it passed at 75,310 miles. This small mileage increase over two days is consistent with a retest after minor repairs, which is normal practice. Before that, the vehicle had covered only 5,757 miles in the year from September 2021 to August 2022, suggesting very light use or extended periods parked. At 75,310 miles over 17 years, this car has averaged roughly 4,430 miles per year. This is well below typical annual mileage and raises a flag about storage and condition. Low mileage can be positive if the vehicle has been well maintained, but it can also mask problems. Vehicles that sit unused for long periods often develop issues with fuel systems, cooling systems, seals, and battery health that may not show up immediately.
