2014 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · ND64 ABU

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT records. The test conducted on 30 October 2025 at 40,015 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. While the vehicle failed a test three days prior to this pass on 27 October 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately by the owner rather than a sign of mechanical decay. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year over the last four cycles. This low usage pattern, totaling only 40,015 miles over twelve years, indicates the car has seen light duty. Such infrequent use can sometimes lead to issues with seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, or battery degradation due to long periods of inactivity. However, the consistent pass rate since 2022 suggests the vehicle has been exercised regularly enough to avoid the common pitfalls associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the braking system and suspension bushes. Since the MOT history is devoid of technical advisories, it is essential to verify that the lack of recorded issues is not simply a result of superficial testing. Examine the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which often occur on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. Inspect the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion on the sills and subframes, as the age of the vehicle makes these areas susceptible to oxidation despite the low mileage.
