2021 KIA Ceed 1.0L Petrol · RJ21 YBL

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 9 June 2025 at 65,950 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous test on 20 May 2024, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,190 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between May 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 44,261 to 65,950 miles. This increase of over 21,000 miles in a single year indicates heavy use, likely involving long-distance motorway commuting, which generally puts less strain on the engine than short urban trips but accelerates wear on specific consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components given the rapid mileage accumulation. While the MOT record is clean, the high annual mileage makes it prudent to check the condition of the brake discs and pads for thinning. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of fatigue or perishing, as these often degrade under heavy use before they trigger an official MOT failure. Check the service history to ensure the oil change intervals were shortened to accommodate the high mileage. The absence of advisories in the 2025 test is positive, but a manual check of the tyre tread depths and the condition of the cabin filters is advised to ensure the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the basic legal requirements.
