2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LB11 KFR

The Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 136,035 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and a pass. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The vehicle cleared its test eight days after a failed attempt on 9 October 2025 at 136,033 miles that also listed no defects, indicating a possible administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage rose from 101,443 at the October 2023 test to 120,488 by October 2024, then to 136,035 by October 2025. This equates to roughly 19,000 miles in the first year and 15,500 in the second, above the lifetime average of about 9,069 miles per year. The two failed tests in 2024 and 2025 both occurred one day before a clean pass at near-identical mileages, suggesting the owner addressed a non-mechanical blocker quickly rather than neglecting upkeep. The sparse record shows no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions problems across the three-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 15-year age and 136,035 miles. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of advisories in the MOT data. The repeated same-week fail-and-pass pattern offers no evidence of skipped consumable care, but the elevated recent annual mileage means tyres and wiper blades may be due for renewal sooner than the test intervals imply.
