2011 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · OV11 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent maintenance profile with no significant mechanical deterioration evident in the recent MOT history. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 44,397 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of successful inspections dating back several years, suggesting a consistent level of upkeep and a lack of recurring structural or safety issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 2,960 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 41,432 miles in August 2022 to 44,397 miles in September 2025. This low annual usage pattern suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though such low mileage can sometimes lead to issues with seals or rubber components due to extended periods of inactivity. The only recorded failure occurred on 16 August 2022 at 41,432 miles, though the specific reason for this failure was not documented in the provided data. Given that the vehicle passed immediately following this failure and has maintained a clean record for the subsequent three years, this appears to have been a minor, resolved issue. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting components that typically degrade during long periods of low usage. I recommend a thorough check of the underside for surface corrosion on the exhaust and suspension mounting points. You should also inspect all rubber bushings, drive shafts, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing. While the MOT history is clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and fluid condition is essential to ensure the engine has been adequately lubricated despite the low mileage.
