2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · FT65 DFJ

This Kia Ceed is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 105,151 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has improved recently, moving from a period of recurring brake advisories to a completely clean sheet in the latest inspection. The vehicle has covered 105,151 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 10,515 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for this model. Mileage accumulation remained steady throughout the record, though there was a notable increase in annual distance between February 2023 and February 2026, where the car covered over 31,000 miles in three years. A recurring issue with brake disc condition persisted for several years. In February 2023 at 73,574 miles, the tester flagged pitted or scored discs on all four corners. This issue remained on the rear discs through the February 2024 test at 83,932 miles and again in February 2025 at 94,230 miles. The fact that these advisories appeared for three consecutive years suggests the previous owner deferred replacing the rear braking components until they were strictly necessary. A buyer should verify that the brake discs and pads were finally replaced prior to the February 2026 test, as the sudden absence of these long-term advisories indicates a recent intervention. Beyond the brakes, the record is remarkably clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, with no mentions of suspension bush failure, coil spring corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. Focus the physical inspection on the rear brake pedal feel and a visual check of the disc surfaces to ensure the hardware is fresh.
