2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LD08 SNK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the clean results of its most recent MOT test. The test conducted on 4 April 2023 at 150,731 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows failures in both 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes suggest that any identified faults were addressed prior to the retests. At a total of 150,731 miles over 18 years, the car averages approximately 8,374 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent progression of mileage, with roughly 13,300 miles covered between April 2021 and March 2022, and another 12,500 miles between March 2022 and April 2023. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits the health of engine seals and mechanical components despite the overall age of the platform. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the high mileage and age often accelerate wear on rubber bushes and metalwork. Given that the last MOT was performed over three years ago, the current roadworthiness is unverified and requires an immediate test. Check for significant corrosion on the sills and rear suspension points, and inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as these areas are prone to degradation on high-mileage hatchbacks of this era.
