2016 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · MW66 EYM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes across five consecutive annual tests. The most recent inspection in August 2025 at 37,732 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of recorded faults suggests the vehicle has been well-kept and has not suffered from the mechanical stresses typically seen in older cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,773 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 20,442 miles and the August 2025 test at 37,732 miles, the car covered only 17,290 miles. This low usage pattern implies minimal wear on the drivetrain components, engine internals, and braking system. However, such low mileage over long periods can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for extended durations. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as tread depth may remain sufficient despite the age. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishation, which can occur regardless of miles driven. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from effectively cleaning away oxidation.
