2021 KIA Ceed 1.5L Petrol · KP71 GVV

The 2021 Kia Ceed presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, having passed on 12 September 2025 at 32,716 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong. Its prior test on 17 September 2024 at 22,376 miles also passed with no advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard across its two recorded inspections. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the official DVSA record. The mileage accumulation is notably modest and consistent. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 10,340 miles, which is higher than the annualised average of roughly 6,543 miles per year calculated over its full five-year life. This suggests the vehicle saw heavier recent use after a period of lighter driving in its earlier years. The gap between the two tests is exactly one year, so there is no suspiciously long interval or missing history. The recorded mileage aligns with typical use for a five-year-old car and does not raise concerns about long periods standing or odometer anomalies. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Ceed's rear suspension trailing arm bushes and front lower arm bushes are known to wear on higher-mileage examples, so a close check for play or cracking is sensible even though no tester flagged them. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and inspect the underside for any early signs of corrosion on the subframe or suspension mounting points, particularly if the car has been used on salted roads. Tyre condition and age should be verified, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The absence of any MOT advisories is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the surest way to confirm the car's structural and mechanical integrity.
