2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · K74 MOS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a valid MOT after the December 2025 test at 81,357 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement: a solitary failure on 2024‑01‑09 at 71,609 miles (no defects noted) was rectified the following day, when a pass was issued at 71,610 miles. Since then the car has passed consistently in January 2025, January 2025 and December 2025, indicating a stable and resolving condition with no recurring mechanical issues. Mileage accumulation remains modest for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per year across the recorded span. The jump from 71,610 miles in early 2024 to 76,818 miles in January 2025 represents about 5,200 miles over eleven months, while the increase to 81,357 miles by December 2025 adds a further 4,539 miles. This steady rate suggests light usage or periods of storage rather than aggressive wear. The data is relatively sparse but covers the key intervals, with the only notable gap being the 24‑hour failure‑pass cycle in early 2024. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check tyre tread depth and pressure given the low‑mileage profile. The under‑body and exhaust should be inspected for corrosion, and the battery and fluid levels verified, as the car’s age and possible storage periods can affect these components. Particular attention should be given to the brake system, given the brief failure in 2024, and to the chassis for any rust spots around wheel arches or mounting points.
