2018 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · LB18 OMA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 June 2025 at 33,418 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car remains in good mechanical condition. Following a brief failure in July 2024, the vehicle has passed two subsequent tests without any advisories, suggesting that any issues identified at that time were rectified effectively and have not recurred. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,177 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between July 2022 at 13,565 miles and July 2023 at 23,508 miles, where the car covered 10,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has slowed again recently, with only 5,297 miles clocked between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to minor corrosion or fluid degradation if the vehicle sits for long periods. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components often affected by low-usage patterns. Check the rubber-based suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as these can degrade with age regardless of mileage. The brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or uneven wear, which frequently occurs when vehicles are not used regularly. Given the lack of structural advisories in the record, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a close look at tyre age and the condition of rubber components remains necessary for a vehicle of this age.
