2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · MA10 NLG

The 2010 Kia Cee'd passed its most recent MOT on 7 March 2026 at 103,347 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years reads as stable. The vehicle carries a clean test history with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Two failed tests on 26 February 2025 and 7 March 2026 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative or documentation issues rather than roadworthiness defects, since the DVSA record shows no defects on either failure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,459 miles per year against the 103,347 total, which is typical for a sixteen-year-old car. The records show 95,273 miles on 29 February 2024, 98,886 on 27 February 2025, and 103,347 on 7 March 2026, giving annual increments of about 3,600 and 4,400 miles. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to suspect heavy use or neglect, though the absence of advisories across all tests means wear items were either within limits or not closely noted by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the fact that no advisories were ever raised. Sixteen years of service can hide corroding subframes or fatigued mounts that a pass-with-no-defects test will not capture. The twin fail-pass pairs on same-day mileages warrant a check of the V5C and test paperwork to confirm the failures were clerical, not concealed faults cleared without record. Given the clean history and ordinary mileage, the car presents as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. Verify underside structural integrity and tyre sidewall condition in person before committing, as these are the components most likely to degrade silently between annual tests on an older vehicle of this type.
