2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · LP59 AUA

This 2010 Kia Ceed presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 142,130 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in October 2024, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without immediate mechanical failings. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a sixteen year old vehicle. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the odometer rose from 125,591 to 142,130 miles, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year in the most recent period. This consistent usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across the last five entries. A failure on 2 October 2023 was resolved within a week, though the record does not specify the defect. The absence of recurring advisories indicates a proactive approach to maintenance or a vehicle that has avoided common structural rust issues. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension components. While the DVSA records show no defects, vehicles with 142,130 miles typically exhibit wear on engine mounts and steering rack boots that may not yet be critical enough to trigger an MOT failure. Checking for oil leaks around the head gasket and inspecting the condition of the exhaust system will confirm if the mechanical health matches the clean paperwork.
