2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 ACV

The current roadworthiness status of this Kia Ceed is stable and reflects a high standard of maintenance over the last four years. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 01 October 2025 at 119,880 miles with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner has kept the car in a clean, compliant state. The brief failure recorded on 11 October 2024 at 116,044 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the same inspection immediately afterward with no advisories, suggesting no underlying mechanical failure occurred at that time. The recorded mileage of 119,880 miles over thirteen years averages to approximately 9,200 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The consistency of the annual testing dates between October 2022 and October 2025 demonstrates a regular, predictable maintenance schedule. There are no significant gaps in the history provided, and the steady accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left standing for extended periods, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or stale fluids. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these components often show signs of wear on high-mileage Kia models of this era. While the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the condition of the clutch, flywheel, or timing chain, all of which reach critical service intervals at this mileage. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system, and verify that the brake discs and pads have been replaced recently, as the clean MOT history does not guarantee the life remaining on these consumable parts.
