2014 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · RV64 SFO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by consecutive clean passes across the last five tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 February 2026 at 148,164 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have consistently addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they resulted in a failure or an advisory note. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 69,120 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 17,000 to 22,000 miles in annual intervals. The most significant jump occurred between the February 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular operation suggests the car was likely used for long-distance motorway commuting, which helps mitigate certain types of component degradation often seen with long periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection focused on components subject to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry for worn bushes, arm joints, and coil springs, as these often reach fatigue past 140,000 miles. The brake system requires a check for signs of caliper binding or thin discs, as the MOT test does not measure pad thickness. Given the vehicle's age and distance, a close look for emerging structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential to ensure the chassis integrity has not been compromised by road salts.
