2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · PX08 AYP

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 31,574 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car is in a clean state of repair. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,754 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 8,653 miles in March 2012 to 31,574 miles in June 2026. This suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which often impacts rubber components and fluid longevity. A recurring pattern of tyre wear emerged between February 2022 and May 2024. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit in February 2022, March 2023, and again in May 2024, while the offside front tyre showed similar wear in May 2024. These repeated advisories for edge wear suggest a potential alignment issue or a lack of proactive tyre maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should specifically check for oil leaks, as the May 2025 test at 28,832 miles noted a leak that was not yet excessive. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for perishing due to lack of use. The repeated mentions of shields from 2022 to 2024 also warrant a check for rust or detachment on the brake dust shields.
