2010 KIA Ceed 1 Crdi 1.6L Diesel · MJ60 NKM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on January 14, 2026, at 208,528 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a singular failure recorded in December 2024. The fact that the car passed its most recent test without any defects after the previous failure suggests that issues identified at that time were addressed and rectified. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating structural integrity across the last four testing cycles. The mileage profile reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum over its 16-year life. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered 9,417 miles, showing a slight dip in usage compared to the 13,310 miles recorded between tests December 2023 and January 2025. The final interval saw 4,438 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has likely been used for regular motorway commuting, which typically results in more even wear but accelerated degradation of drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the rear wheel arches and sills, where corrosion is common on Kia models of this era. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers warrants a close look for excessive play. While the MOT record is currently clean, the proximity to the 200,000 mile mark puts significant stress on the brake discs and calipers, necessitating a check for signs of binding or thinning material that a standard MOT test might not fully capture.
