2011 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD61 JFX

The 2011 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 96,786 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every successful examination without advisories or recorded wear items. Records show no worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,450 miles, typical for a fifteen-year-old hatchback. The odometer moved from 87,617 miles at the July 2023 test to 91,678 miles in August 2024, then to 96,786 miles by July 2025. This reflects consistent, light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The clean pass history and narrow mileage bands suggest the previous keeper covered routine distances and the car avoided heavy commercial duty. Two failed tests appear immediately before passing days: 21 July 2025 at 96,783 miles and 25 July 2024 at 91,675 miles. Both failures list no defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The same pattern repeating across two years implies the owner rectified paperwork or re-presented the car without repair work needed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The MOT record flags none of these, but a 2011 Ceed at 96,786 miles warrants checking for structural rust and worn consumables not captured in a clean test. Verify service history to confirm the intervals behind this low-fault record.
