2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LD59 OHA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 at 153,811 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-09-26 and 2023-09-25 also showed passes, though a failed test on the same date as the 2024-09-26 pass (with no defects recorded) suggests potential administrative or procedural inconsistency. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the history, and the absence of advisories or failures in the last three years implies consistent maintenance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging ~9,048 miles annually. A 13,419-mile jump between the 2022-09-27 test (123,419 miles) and 2023-09-25 test (138,416 miles) reflects regular annual usage, while the 2024-09-26 test at 146,977 miles shows a 8,561-mile increase over 12 months. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are noted, suggesting steady operation. The record is clean, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time in vehicles of this age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these often emerge in high-mileage models. Corrosion in the underbody and exhaust system should also be checked, as they are common in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
