2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LG58 PRX

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend according to the most recent MOT records. The September 2025 test resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pass in September 2024, which succeeded a failure on the same day. The records from 2022 and 2023 also show clean passes without any noted defects. The recorded mileage of 96,807 miles is relatively low for a 2008 model, averaging approximately 5,378 miles per year over its lifespan. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with entries on 2022-09-20, 2023-09-18, 2024-09-19, and 2025-09-05. There are no significant gaps in the inspection timeline, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to regular annual testing. While the recent history is free of advisories, the failure recorded on 2024-09-19 indicates a previous issue required rectification to meet minimum standards. Because the MOT record does not specify the exact nature of that failure, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as inspect the underside for signs of structural corrosion. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to examine rubber components such as tyre sidewalls and engine mounts for signs of perishing or cracking from long periods of inactivity. Checking the exhaust system for corrosion and ensuring the braking system is free from binding calipers will provide a more complete picture of the vehicle's current mechanical state.
