2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LB59 WTG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection without any recorded defects. While the MOT record from 28 September 2024 at 128,503 miles shows a failure with no listed defects, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor or administrative issue was rectified quickly by the owner. The lack of recurring advisories across the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained in a sound mechanical condition relative to its age. At 128,503 miles over 16 years, the Kia Ceed has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with typical UK usage for a hatchback. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between November 2022 and October 2023, and another 3,900 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress on the drivetrain or suspension components often associated with high-mileage city vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and underbody components, as the MOT history does not highlight specific recurring mechanical failures. Given the age of the vehicle, it is essential to check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common areas of concern for this model. Although the records are clean of brake or suspension advisories, a manual check of the control arm bushes and the condition of the brake discs remains prudent practice to ensure no rapid wear has occurred since the last annual test. The overall history reflects a vehicle that has avoided significant mechanical decline to date.
