2017 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · RE67 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 14 October 2025 at 95,587 miles. This pass carried no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. Following a brief failure on 1 October 2024, the vehicle was immediately rectified and passed the re-test, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing faults once identified by the DVSA tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 61,386 miles and the October 2023 test at 73,813 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles, showing steady usage. The more recent interval of 11,354 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 maintains this pattern. This regular usage profile is generally beneficial for modern engines as it prevents the seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. While the history is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the mileage approaching the 100,000-mile mark, checking control arm bushes and shock absorbers for signs of perished rubber or leaks is prudent. Additionally, examine the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, as the record does not detail past binding calipers or excessive corrosion. The lack of structural rust advisories is a positive indicator that the underbody remains sound for a vehicle of this age.
