Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
When viewing this specific 1.0L petrol Ceed, check the service history to ensure the small-capacity turbocharged engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for longevity. While the MOT history is currently defect-free, you should verify that the manufacturer-scheduled maintenance has been carried out to protect the remaining balance of any warranty.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while 34,968 miles is reasonable, it is higher than the aggregate model average of approximately 39,405 miles over a five-year period (based on the 7,881 annual average). Ask for proof of the most recent service to complement the clean MOT records.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement Ceed models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a modern Euro 6 petrol hatchback.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads. Given the model's aggregate data, keep an eye on suspension components and lighting as these are common areas for future attention.
Although this vehicle has had no MOT failures to date, the aggregate data for the KIA Ceed highlights headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms as common failure points. Inspect the headlight clarity and alignment, check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres, and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension during a test drive.
Additionally, as a Euro 6 petrol vehicle, ensure the engine runs smoothly and there are no warning lights on the dashboard, which would indicate issues with the emissions systems.
Registered in June 2021, this brown KIA Ceed has covered 34,968 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record with no recorded defects or failures since its first test in 2024. Compared to the model average of 7,881 annual miles, this vehicle is performing slightly above the average usage rate, but remains within a reasonable bracket for a five-year-old petrol car.
The KIA Ceed shows a 79.1% average MOT pass rate across the 128,497 vehicles analysed in our database.
