2012 KIA Ceed 2 Ecodynamics Crdi 1.6L Heavy oil · LC62 KXZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 7 June 2026 at 125,711 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes throughout 2025 and 2023, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 55,847 miles in August 2019 to 85,666 miles by June 2022, and reaching 125,711 miles by mid-2026. There are no significant periods of long-term inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular use or potential neglect. A buyer should focus on the suspension and tyre wear patterns noted in earlier years. The November 2018 test flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and uneven tyre wear, which indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension components. While the most recent tests show no such defects, a physical inspection of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and tyre tread patterns is advisable to ensure these components have not degraded again. The history also shows occasional minor issues with consumables, such as windscreen wipers and brake pads. Given the vehicle is now over 125,000 miles, a thorough check of the braking system, including disc thickness and pad life, is necessary. Although the recent records are clear, the previous failures regarding tyre wear and lighting suggest that the owner should verify the current condition of all external lamps and the overall integrity of the tyre sidewalls and tread.
