2015 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · MK65 TTY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards accumulating suspension-relatedrelated wear. The most recent test in March 2025 at 84,989 miles flagged slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and worn bushes on both front shock absorbers. This follows a progression from the February 2024 test at 81,509 miles, which already noted worn lower arm bushes and rear arm bushes. While the car continues to pass, the frequency of suspension advisories indicates that components are now reaching their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,200 miles recorded between October 2022 and February 2024, and another 3,400 miles between February 2024 and March 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and brake hardware seen in the historical record. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to assess the extent of the play in the ball joints and the condition of the shock mounts. The brake system requires attention, as the record shows a history of an offside front binder in 2021 and worn inner discs in 2024. You must also check the tyres for perishing or cracking, as the 2022 test highlighted age-related damage on the rear tyre, which is common on lower-mileage vehicles of this age.
