MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Kia Ceed (LD62 YFJ) between January 2015 and January 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 10 January 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Steering (12 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Steering column universal joint has excessive wear or play (2.2.2 (c))”; “Nearside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
