2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD13 NFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 23 January 2023 at 143,630 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern across the two consecutive annual tests. Mileage has risen from 131,280 miles at the 21 January 2022 test to 143,630 miles a year later, a gain of 12,350 miles. This translates to roughly 12,350 miles per annum, marginally above the typical 11,000‑mile yearly average for a 13‑year‑old car, but the record shows no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest periods of neglect or extreme use. A prospective buyer should examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as wear rates can accelerate with higher mileage. Inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. Check suspension components—particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of corrosion, leakage, or excessive play. A visual survey of the under‑carriage for rust, especially around wheel arches and chassis joints, will confirm the absence of structural deterioration that the MOT record does not reveal.
