Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage hatchback. The recent MOT history shows a consistent passing record with no recorded defects in the last several years.
When viewing this specific black CEED, prioritize checking the service history to supplement the MOT data, as MOTs only reflect roadworthiness at the time of testing. Given the engine size is 1396cc, ensure the timing belt/chain intervals have been checked according to manufacturer specifications.
Because the vehicle has been driven below the model average, check for signs of age-related wear on rubber components like bushes and seals, which can sometimes perish on lower-mileage cars. Negotiate based on the documented service intervals rather than just the mileage.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this era of CEED is typically efficient for a compact hatchback.
Maintenance costs are expected to be standard for a non-premium brand, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brakes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, sit in a mid-range bracket for a 2009 petrol vehicle.
While this specific vehicle has had no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model suggests you should pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms during your inspection.
Check the condition of the suspension components for any play or noise, and inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls. Since the 2025 MOT passed with no defects after a brief failure at 66,803 miles, verify that any minor adjustments made during that period were fully addressed.
This 2009 KIA CEED features a 1.4L petrol engine and has covered 66,804 miles as of its last test in July 2025. Compared to the model average of 7,775 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example of this age. The MOT history shows a clean run of passes since 2022, with the most recent test passing without any recorded defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- CRDi clutch, DMF and EGR wearModerate
The diesel can cover high mileage, but city use and towing accelerate clutch, flywheel and EGR costs. Cheap ED diesels often hide a four-figure bill.
- Front spring and rear-bush wearModerate
Like the related Hyundai i30, the ED regularly needs front springs, top mounts and rear suspension bushes as the years add up.
