2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LF66 ABU

The 2016 Kia Ceed shows a lapsed MOT status as of 15 July 2026, with the most recent test on 17 January 2025 at 69,674 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Mechanical maintenance trend remains stable across the DVSA history, as five tests log zero advisories or faults. The vehicle failed on 3 January 2025 at 69,672 miles and again on 20 September 2023 at 53,967 miles, yet both failure entries carry no defect records. Such outcomes point to administrative or presentation shortfalls rather than worsening wear. Mileage accumulation sits at a modest 69,674 miles over roughly ten years, equating to about 6,967 miles per annum, typical for the age. The record steps from 40,208 miles at the 20 September 2022 test to 53,967 miles by 20 September 2023, then to 69,672 by 3 January 2025. Sparse clean sheets suggest light use. The two no-defect failures imply the previous keeper neglected test formalities rather than skipped basic upkeep like tyres or wiper blades. A buyer must still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the decade of service and the six-month gap since the last test expired. The absence of logged corrosion or binding calipers does not rule out hidden rust or intermittent brake imbalance if the car stood unused. Verify exhaust emissions and tyre tread in person, as gradual degradation may escape a pass with no advisories.
