2018 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LG67 WTC

The 2018 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 64,437 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 25 January 2023 at 47,426 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have accumulated across the recorded history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,055 miles per year against the vehicle's eight-year age, a typical use profile for this class. The records show 38,960 miles at the 28 January 2022 test, rising to 47,426 by 25 January 2023, then 53,586 by 9 January 2024, and 64,437 by September 2025. The gap between the January 2024 and September 2025 entries covers twenty months yet only 10,851 miles, suggesting a period of lighter use. A failed test on 9 January 2024 at 53,586 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault, with the same-day pass confirming the vehicle was otherwise compliant. The clean MOT lineage shows no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues across the five entries. Absence of advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions points to reasonable consumable upkeep by previous keepers, though the sparse comment history limits insight into hidden wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, verify brake caliper operation and disc condition, and confirm the timing chain and clutch show no premature wear. The low-defect record justifies confidence, but in-person checks remain essential given the test data's lack of granular mechanical detail.
