2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · FT62 WNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the most recent test indicates a slight decline in consumable condition, as both the nearside and offside front tyres were found close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This suggests that while the car is mechanically compliant, immediate attention is required for the front tyre set. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage patterns; for instance, only 974 miles were recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 956 miles in the subsequent twelve months. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry, which are not reflected in the mileage alone. A buyer should focus on inspecting the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the uneven wear on the front tyres in the latest test points toward tracking issues or worn bushes and dampers. Given the low mileage and high age, it is also vital to check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and the condition of the brake calipers, as these can seize on vehicles used infrequently. Verifying the headlamp alignment is also advisable to ensure the previous failure from 2024 remains rectified.
