2018 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · HJ18 AFY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 at 36,481 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single failure or advisory note since March 2021. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 4,560 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing by 4,043 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and 4,522 miles between July 2023 and June 2024. This suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps preserve rubber components and seals. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion is rare for a vehicle of this age. The record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance or very gentle usage. There are no recurring mechanical trends to flag, and the structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of corrosion notes in the DVSA data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that may degrade regardless of mileage. Check the date codes on the tyres to ensure the rubber has not perished due to age. Inspect the brake fluid condition and check for any signs of seizing in the calipers, as low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from stagnation in the braking system.
