2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · RO63 GLJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean pass in the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 95,720 miles. While the tester flagged deteriorated front and rear registration plates, these were noted as not likely to be misread, indicating a minor cosmetic issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of defects in the November 2024 test suggests a period of consistent upkeep following previous advisories. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 13-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 95,720 miles, averaging roughly 7,363 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 70,519 miles in November 2021 to 95,720 miles in December 2025, showing no signs of sudden, excessive mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The November 2023 test at 86,971 miles highlighted thinning brake pads on both the nearside and offside rear axles, alongside a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests show no recurring brake or tyre issues, these advisories indicate that consumable components have required attention in the past. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the history shows a minor electrical issue regarding a registration plate lamp in October 2022. While the record does not flag any structural corrosion or suspension component failures, the previous advisory regarding brake pad wear warrants a check of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs. Ensuring the recent replacement of these consumables is documented would provide further confidence in the vehicle's mechanical state.
