2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · MJ10 THU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent inspection on 9 February 2026 at 175,928 miles. While the record shows initial failures on the test dates in both 2025 and 2026, the subsequent passes without recorded defects indicate that any identified issues were addressed immediately. The current maintenance trend suggests a proactive approach to MOT-related repairs rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical failure or structural degradation. At 16 years old, the recorded 175,928 miles represent approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns closely with national UK averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 12,355 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,553 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than being left stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent internal component corrosion and brake fluid contamination. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on high-wear components typical of a high-mileage Kia of this era. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary as these components often reach the end of their service life. The vehicle should also be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which are common points of concern for this model. While the MOT record is currently clean, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the tyre pads will confirm if the recent passes reflect genuine mechanical health.
