2021 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · LG21 ADC

This five-year-old Kia Ceed presents in sound mechanical order with a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on June 17, 2025, at 14,730 miles with zero advisory items recorded. The test history reveals an unusual quirk where the vehicle failed its annual test twice on consecutive days, specifically on July 29, 2024, at 11,472 miles and June 17, 2025, at 14,726 miles, before passing immediately on the following day in both instances. These initial failures without recorded defect descriptions typically point to administrative issues, minor calibration failures, or immediate same-day rectifications at the testing station rather than systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation sits at an exceptionally low average of roughly 2,946 miles per year, bringing the total to just 14,730 miles by the summer of 2025. Between the July 2024 test at 11,473 miles and the June 2025 test at 14,730 miles, the car covered approximately 3,257 miles over eleven months, indicating light and steady urban or suburban usage. This sparse and clean MOT history contains no advisories for corrosion, suspension wear, or braking degradation, reflecting a vehicle that has spent very little time exposed to harsh road conditions or heavy load stress. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the lack of recorded advisories, paying particular attention to brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or binding calipers caused by infrequent use and prolonged sitting. The low mileage means rubber components like suspension bushes, wiper blades, and tyres may show age-related perishing rather than mechanical wear, so checking the manufacture dates on the tyre sidewalls is essential. Potential purchasers must also verify the service booklet to ensure that routine fluid and filter changes were performed annually despite the low annual mileage.
