Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to confirm when the front brake discs and pads were replaced following the April 2024 failure and the 2023 advisories. You should also verify if the offside front inner road wheel was repaired or replaced after being flagged as distorted in 2023.
Given the history of tyre bulges and perishing, check that the current set of tyres is of a reputable brand and has even tread wear. Use the previous tyre failures as a point of negotiation if the current tyres appear aged or are budget-grade.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage users. Insurance groups for the Ceed are typically moderate, and the diesel tax band for 2015 models is generally competitive.
Annual costs will be driven by fuel, VED, and routine maintenance. Given the vehicle's age, budget for periodic replacements of wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and tyres, which have appeared frequently in this car's history.
Carefully inspect all four tyre sidewalls for bulges or cracking, as the 2024 MOT recorded structural failures on both front tyres and the 2025 test noted perishing on the offside rear. Check the brake pedal feel and look for any scoring on the discs, following the history of thin pads and worn discs between 2023 and 2025.
Additionally, examine the offside front wheel for any signs of distortion or uneven wear, as this was specifically noted as a defect in April 2023. Ensure the internal headlight adjuster is functioning correctly following the 2025 MOT advisory.
This 2015 white Kia Ceed diesel has covered 61,368 miles, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of tyre issues, including bulges and perishing, alongside gradual brake wear. However, the most recent MOT in March 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Kia Ceed has a 79% average MOT pass rate, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars being the most common failure points.
