2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LC61 HWD

The 2025‑09‑10 MOT at 82,390 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains road‑worthy. Maintenance has been consistent, with each successive test showing no new faults and no recorded corrections, indicating a stable trend. The mileage record shows an average annual usage of roughly 5,500 miles, well below the typical 10,000‑mile figure for a 15‑year‑old car, suggesting the vehicle has spent many years idle or used lightly. The interval from the 2023‑10‑13 test (69,813 miles) to the 2024‑10‑01 test (76,226 miles) covered 6,413 miles in about eleven months, and the following year added another 6,164 miles to reach 82,390 miles, demonstrating steady accumulation without abrupt jumps. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for any structural rust on the chassis and sills. The exhaust system should also be checked for corrosion and leaks, and the condition of the tyres and wiper blades can be assessed as routine consumable items. Because the MOT history lists no defects, any hidden issues would only be revealed by a physical inspection.
