2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 LLZ

This 2013 Kia Ceed presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 91,773 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered approximately 7,059 miles per year over its thirteen year lifespan, which is typical for this model. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent over the last four years, growing from 77,700 miles in May 2022 to 91,773 miles in May 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent perishing rubber seals and seizing brake calipers. The absence of any advisories or failures since May 2022 is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Most cars from this era typically show wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs by 90,000 miles. The clean record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Checking the service history for evidence of timing belt or chain maintenance and fluid changes is essential, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards and does not verify comprehensive mechanical health.
