2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · R333 AAS

The 2026‑06‑03 MOT at 52,846 miles resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy despite recorded advisories such as off‑side front mirror damage, slight play in both anti‑roll bar ball joints and rear coil spring corrosion. The previous failure on 2026‑06‑01 at the same mileage showed identical defects, suggesting that repairs were carried out before the June‑3 test, thereby improving the overall maintenance trend from a failing to a passing status. Mileage has risen from 16,107 miles in April 2016 to 52,846 miles by June 2026, a total increase of 36,739 miles over ten years, averaging about 3,674 miles per year. The recorded increments are relatively steady, with jumps of roughly 2,600–3,400 miles between consecutive tests, and no abrupt surges that would indicate neglect or excessive use. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes, the anti‑roll bar ball joints, and the rear coil springs for signs of wear or rust, verify the condition of the rear brake assembly and check for any binding in the service brakes, confirm that the parking brake operates on both sides, and test the headlamp aim, wiper effectiveness and overall structural integrity for hidden corrosion.
