2020 KIA Ceed 2 NAV Crdi ISG 1.6L Diesel · LB20 FBN

The vehicle remains roadworthy according to the most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 43,543 miles, where the tester recorded a rear brake disc that is worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). This single defect, following a clean record in 2023 and tyre‑tread advisories in 2024, suggests a stable maintenance trend with minor consumable wear emerging rather than a deteriorating structural condition. Mileage has risen from 26,009 miles in July 2023 to 35,253 miles in July 2024, then to 43,543 miles in July 2025. The annual increase of roughly 8‑9 thousand miles aligns with the average of about 7‑8 thousand miles per year for a six‑year‑old car, indicating typical usage rather than periods of excessive mileage accumulation or long storage gaps. The record shows no unexplained spikes or prolonged idle periods; the mileage progression is consistent and the MOT entries are spaced at regular twelve‑month intervals. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake discs, measuring remaining thickness against the manufacturer’s minimum specification and confirming that scoring does not approach the limit. Front tyre tread should be inspected for uniformity and sidewall integrity, given the 1.8 mm wear noted in July 2024; replacement may be prudent if tread depth is below 1.6 mm. While the MOT does not flag suspension components, the moderate mileage warrants a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and mounting points for any signs of corrosion or looseness. A thorough examination of the exhaust system and under‑body for rust will complete the assessment before purchase.
