2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LC16 EVJ

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 73,217 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of noted wear and tear. While earlier tests highlighted specific components requiring attention, the clean sheet from the latest MOT test suggests that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical issues flagged in prior years. At 73,217 miles over ten years, the Kia Ceed has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-use patterns for this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with an interval of roughly 7,800 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025, and approximately 9,500 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that lead to component degradation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system during a physical viewing. The November 2022 test flagged a worn offside rear suspension arm bush, and the 2024 test identified pitted and scored rear brake discs. Although these issues appear resolved in the latest record, an inspector should verify there is no remaining play in the bushings or uneven wear on the rotors to ensure the parts were replaced correctly. The 2021 record indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance regarding tyre perishing and tread depth, so the current condition and manufacture date of all four tyres must be checked against legal standards.
