2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LC16 DYA

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 58,329 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 5,833 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 37,467 miles in June 2021 to 58,329 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of neglect or undisclosed heavy usage. Because the MOT record is devoid of any advisories regarding brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion, there are no specific red flags to prioritize. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to underuse. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and a check for any signs of brake disc corrosion. The absence of any flagged structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures suggests the chassis and engine have been well preserved. A buyer should simply verify that the service intervals were met regardless of the low mileage, as oil degradation occurs over time even when the car is not driven extensively.
