2020 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · LG70 VOV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 58,923 miles passed, the record shows a recurring issue with the rear brake discs. This specific fault also appeared in the August 2024 test, indicating that the previous owner opted to leave components until they reached a point of marginal failure rather than replacing them during service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The car covered 13,680 miles between the September 2023 test at 39,655 miles and the August 2024 test at 53,335 miles, which represents typical usage levels. However, the failure in August 2024 due to four tyres being at or below the legal tread depth limit and faulty wipers suggests that basic consumable upkeep was neglected until the MOT deadline forced action. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the discs noted in 2024 and 2025 suggest surface corrosion or poor material quality that has not been addressed. The history of uneven tyre wear noted in September 2023 also warrants a check of the front alignment and suspension bushes to ensure they are not causing premature tyre degradation. Given the previously reported cuts in the rear tyres in 2024, the current condition of the rubber should also be verified for structural damage that may have occurred since the last inspection.
