2012 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LD62 KZP

The 2026-06-18 verdict is that the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT trend is stable and improving rather than worsening. The tester flagged the 2025-09-30 test at 137,021 miles as the most recent, with no defects recorded. Since the 2024-10-03 test at 130,081 miles was passed, the vehicle has maintained consistent performance through the 2022-09-23 test at 113,377 miles, indicating a stable maintenance pattern without a clear trend of deterioration. The mileage context suggests that the vehicle is approximately 14 years old with roughly 9,787 miles per year, which aligns with the 137,021 recorded miles. The data is relatively clean, showing no gaps in the records or rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest significant wear on components like suspension or drivetrain. This pattern of steady progression confirms that the mechanical risks have been managed over the past several years. In conclusion, the vehicle is roadworthy, but the buyer should inspect the suspension and brakes for binding, corrosion, or structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no defects, the 2025-09-30 test at 137,021 miles is the most recent, and the vehicle has maintained consistent performance since the 2022-09-23 test. A thorough visual inspection of the suspension bushings and coil springs is recommended to ensure no issues remain, as the vehicle is currently in good condition but requires periodic checks.
