2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · LS60 XNU

The most recent MOT test, conducted on November 11th, 2025, passed with noted issues regarding the offside front suspension arm pin or bush and the offside rear tyre wear. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring suspension component wear and tyre condition issues. Specifically, there are multiple mentions of worn suspension arm pins or bushes and dust cover deterioration on suspension joints across several tests. The trend in the MOT history shows a mix of passing and failing results, indicating that while some issues were addressed, underlying wear on suspension components and tyre condition remains a concern. This suggests a stable to slightly worsening condition regarding wear items. The mileage of 97,720 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 16 years old puts the usage around 6,108 miles per year, which is considered typical for its age. This mileage level suggests normal wear for this vehicle type, but the MOT history points to specific component fatigue. A buyer should immediately inspect the front and rear suspension components for any visible wear or damage, paying close attention to the front suspension arm pins and bushes. Secondly, thoroughly check the tread depth on all tyres, especially the nearside rear tyre, as this was noted as being below legal requirements in a previous test. Finally, given the history of steering system fouling and brake binding noted in the 2023 test, a thorough check of the braking system and steering components is essential before purchase.
