2013 KIA Ceed 1.4L Diesel · GV63 HYM

The most recent entry from 14 November 2025 records a clean pass with no defects or advisories, suggesting the vehicle was presented in a roadworthy state immediately after a three-day-earlier failure on 11 November 2025 where no defects were recorded against the test itself. The cause of that single failure is not visible in this abbreviated dataset, but the rapid turnaround implies a specific and rectifiable issue rather than a systemic mechanical decline. The preceding three annual tests at 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed without recorded advisories, producing an outwardly consistent four-test run of clean results once the November 2025 retest is included. The maintenance trajectory therefore appears stable heading into the 2026 motoring year, though the underlying reason for the brief pass-fail-pass sequence would warrant direct confirmation. Mileage progression across the recorded tests indicates steady accumulation consistent with average use for a 2013 Kia Cee'd, reaching 127,575 miles by late 2025 from prior readings implied at the 2022 to 2024 tests. The roughly 9,800 miles per year average is unremarkable for the model and age, pointing to regular driving rather than long storage or unusually heavy motorway use. No anomaly such as a clocked reduction, a sudden jump, or an extended stationary gap is evident from the supplied dates. The combination of continuous annual testing and a linear mileage climb suggests the car has remained in active service throughout the period covered. For a buyer inspecting this car in person, priority should go to the components typically associated with higher-mileage Kia Cee'ds of this generation, namely front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, all of which commonly perish silently between MOTs and only show under load or on a ramp. Brake discs, caliper sliders, and flexible hoses should be examined for corrosion or binding, particularly given that the November 2025 test cycle did not record any advisory commentary to confirm recent brake attention. The underside, subframe mounting points, and rear axle area should be checked for surface corrosion, and a compression or misfire check is sensible on the 1.4 or 1.6 petrol units commonly fitted to this model. Buying_score: 72, risk_level: Low. The record is short, clean, and current, but the unresolved November 2025 failure and the absence of any advisory detail across five years mean a pre-purchase inspection remains the prudent step before committing.
