2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 AEJ

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 38,794 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2013 model, averaging under 3,000 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last four years, moving from 30,229 miles in April 2022 to 38,794 miles in April 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history, suggesting the car has seen light, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of stagnation. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage presents specific risks that a buyer must verify during a physical inspection. Vehicles that spend long periods stationary or perform only short trips are prone to perished rubber components and seized brake calipers. You should check the condition of the suspension bushes and the flexibility of the tyres to ensure the rubber has not hardened or cracked due to age rather than wear. Check for signs of brake disc corrosion and ensure the handbrake operates smoothly. While the DVSA tester found no faults, the lack of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a thirteen-year-old car. A manual inspection of the underside for surface rust or oil leaks will confirm if the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment or if it has simply avoided the scrutiny of the MOT testers.
