Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of over 142,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Ask for evidence of recent cambelt/timing chain inspections and oil change frequency, as these are critical for high-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the recent history of suspension and tyre issues. Check if the track rod end and anti-roll bar linkage identified in the January 2026 failure were actually replaced or just addressed to pass the test. Ensure all four tyres have ample tread depth and that the braking system has been fully serviced following the 2025 failure regarding worn rear discs.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Ceed is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though running costs will be influenced by its high mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy, typical for this engine class, and the tax band will depend on the specific CO2 emissions recorded at registration.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage; components like suspension bushings, tyres, and brake discs have already shown signs of wear in recent MOT tests. Estimate an annual running cost that accounts for frequent consumable replacements.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The MOT history specifically flagged a nearside track rod end with play and an offside anti-roll bar linkage dust cover issue in early 2026. Inspect these areas for any signs of movement or perished rubber boots.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2025 MOT recorded significantly worn rear brake discs, so verify that both discs and pads have been replaced recently. Additionally, inspect the tyre condition across all four wheels, as the vehicle has a history of failing on tread depth and uneven wear.
This 2015 orange KIA Ceed 1.6 diesel has covered 142,814 miles as of its last MOT, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,881 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to tyres, brakes, and suspension components. While the January 2026 test was passed without defects, previous years have seen failures for worn brake discs and suspension joints.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.1%, with common failures occurring in headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
