2014 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · RK14 FFL

The 2014 Kia Ceed presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 26,514 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the five entries supplied, and the maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern. The vehicle cleared every valid test from 2022 through 2025 without mechanical or structural flags. Mileage sits at 26,514 against an April 2025 test, equating to roughly 2,210 miles per year over the car's twelve-year life. The records show gentle accumulation: 24,030 miles on 5 May 2022, 24,735 on 2 May 2023, 25,654 on 16 April 2024, and 26,514 by April 2025. A failed entry on 16 April 2024 at 25,654 miles carries no recorded defect, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault, with an immediate clean pass logged the same day. The sparse, clean history suggests light use and consistent annual testing. Low mileage and standing periods raise specific inspection points a buyer should verify in person. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, drop links, and engine mounts may degrade through age rather than wear, and brake calipers can seize if the car sat unused. Tyres and wiper blades may show perishing from time rather than tread loss. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVLA data is reassuring, but the tester logged nothing beneath the car. A physical inspection should check subframe condition, brake disc surface, and underbody for moisture-related corrosion that low-use vehicles can hide between annual tests.
