Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT records for both 2025 and 2026 show advisories for the offside rear tyre being damaged, cracked, or perishing. Ensure all four tyres have adequate tread and show no signs of sidewall cracking, as this has been a recurring minor issue for this car.
Given the diesel engine and the mileage of over 112,000, you should request evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements. While the MOT doesn't show mechanical failures, the high mileage relative to the model average means you should check the clutch and flywheel, as well as the timing belt/chain service intervals for this 1.4L unit.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Ceed is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway commutes. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol equivalents, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Ceed are generally moderate, making it an affordable option for many drivers. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though at this mileage, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like brake discs, pads, and suspension components, which are common maintenance areas for this model.
Specifically check the windscreen wiper assembly; a failure was recorded in January 2024 regarding ineffective clearing. Ensure the blades are new and the motor operates smoothly. Additionally, inspect the offside rear tyre and its counterparts to ensure the 'cracking or perishing' noted in recent MOTs has been fully rectified with new rubber.
Beyond the MOT records, check the suspension components. While not a failure on this specific car, the model aggregate data identifies anti-roll bars as a top failure reason for KIA Ceeds. Listen for knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces during your test drive.
This 2013 silver KIA Ceed 1.4L diesel has covered 112,766 miles as of its last test in January 2026. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, though it has encountered issues with windscreen wipers and tyre condition. Compared to the model average of 7,864 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79% MOT pass rate, with common issues often relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
