2012 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LC62 EFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the September 2025 test at 143,447 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. The earlier warning of low front brake pads in November 2015 has not reappeared in any subsequent MOT, indicating that the issue was addressed and the maintenance trend is now stable and improving. No other mechanical or structural faults have been logged, so the car presents a reliable service history up to the most recent inspection. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 10,200 miles per year, a pattern typical for a 14‑year‑old Kia Ceed. The gap between the November 2024 test (137,076 miles) and the September 2025 test (143,447 miles) reflects normal annual usage, and the most recent MOT falls within the standard 12‑month renewal window, confirming the vehicle’s age‑related mileage is well‑managed. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the front brake system, checking pad thickness, disc condition and any signs of caliper binding, as the only historic fault involved those components. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers merit a thorough walk‑around, given the high mileage and the vehicle’s age. Finally, examine the under‑body for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the exhaust mounting points, and request any available service records to verify that routine保养 was performed between the 2015 warning and the recent passes.
