2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LG60 DWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 24, 2026 at 59,137 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the owner addressed the mechanical failures from the previous year. While the most recent test resulted in a failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner is reactive to immediate safety-critical items when flagged by the tester. At 59,137 miles over 16 years, this Ceed reflects exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage with only 1,474 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 1,439 miles in the final year. This low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the steering rack, as the tester flagged slight free play in February 2024 at 57,524 miles. Although this was not noted in the subsequent 2025 pass, mechanical play in the steering system can persist or worsen without being properly rectified. You must also verify the condition of the tyres, given that the 2024 failure for tread depth below 1.6mm suggests a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. Given the age and low mileage, a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion and the suspension bushes is essential, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust and dry-rotted rubber.
