2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LG09 NHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy per the June 18 2026 test, yet the trend is concerning because persistent structural rust and suspension faults have recurred across multiple tests, indicating ongoing maintenance neglect. The 110,043 miles recorded at 17 years equate to about 6,473 miles per year, which is typical, yet the record shows long intervals with no mileage increase, such as the unchanged 110,040 miles between the June 17 2026 and June 18 2026 tests and the lack of mileage growth from 2020 to 2023, suggesting periods of standing. Recurring faults include a heavily corroded front subframe, knocking noise from the front suspension, corroded coil springs on both front and rear, and binding rear service brakes, all of which point to structural and suspension weaknesses that a buyer must verify in person. Additional items to inspect are the engine MIL inoperative status, insufficient washer fluid, steering column knock, and the condition of brake discs, hoses, and suspension bushes, ball joints and track rod ends, as the persistent underside corrosion and worn components indicate a need for a thorough mechanical assessment before purchase.
