2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FP13 URH

The Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 20 September 2025 at 141,597 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing cleanly once minor re-tests were cleared. The only blemish is a repeated fail-pass pattern within days of each other in both 2024 and 2025, though no defects were logged on any failure certificate, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 141,597 against a 2013 registration, averaging roughly 10,892 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The record shows 114,195 miles in August 2023, rising to 131,193 by September 2024 and 141,597 by September 2025, a steady annual accumulation of around 13,000 to 14,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The DVSA history is sparse, listing just three pass cycles and two linked failures across three years, and all entries carry zero advisories or recorded wear. Because no advisories appear for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the lifespan shown, the documented upkeep looks conscientious. The twin fail-pass pairs dated 17 and 19 September 2024 and 13 and 20 September 2025, both with no defects cited, suggest the previous owner relied on prompt re-testing rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, as the MOT ledger offers no visibility of wear below failure threshold. Given the clean sheet at 141,597 miles and the absence of recurring mechanical flags, the vehicle shows no worsening trend. Verify the 2024 and 2025 failure causes with the test stations, since a no-defect fail often means a documentation mismatch rather than a roadworthiness concern.
