2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LF66 ACX

The 2016 Kia Ceed’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-14 at 114,510 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the 2024-05-13 test at the same mileage failed despite no defects being logged, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or unrecorded issues. Subsequent tests in 2024-05-14 and 2023-04-03 showed passes with no defects, reinforcing that the vehicle has met roadworthiness standards in recent years. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns were flagged in the history, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm its validity. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,510 miles aligns with an average of 11,451 annual miles over its 10-year lifespan, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The 2024-05-13 failure at 100,314 miles—shared with the subsequent pass on 2024-05-14—raises questions about test accuracy, as no defects were recorded in either instance. The absence of recurring issues in earlier tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the 2024 anomaly requires clarification. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance, especially in high-mileage models, warrant attention. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the 2024 failure and lack of defect details mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and resolve any discrepancies in the test history.
