2012 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · MM12 AEN

The Kia Ceed shows a stable maintenance trend and held a roadworthy pass at the most recent test on 20 November 2024 at 89,941 miles. The DVSA record logs a fail on the same date at 89,940 miles with no defects recorded, immediately rectified by the pass. Across the 2021 to 2024 entries, testers flagged no advisories or faults. The pattern indicates consistent upkeep rather than escalating mechanical decline. Mileage progression matches typical private use for a 2012 registration. The tester recorded 68,245 miles on 1 December 2021, 75,022 on 29 November 2022, 81,965 on 20 November 2023, and 89,941 on 20 November 2024. Annual gains ranged from 6,777 to 7,976 miles, with no dormant periods or sudden accumulation. The history remains sparse but clean across those four years. No recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues appear in the MOT data, suggesting previous owners cleared minor wear before each test. Nevertheless, a buyer should inspect age-prone components in person given the car's fourteen-year life. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake discs and check for binding calipers, and assess structural integrity at sills and chassis legs for corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories does not override expected wear near 90,000 miles.
