2018 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · RV68 AFA

The 2018 Kia Ceed demonstrates an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test conducted on 23 September 2025 at 56,925 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes has remained consistent over the last four years, suggesting that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and proactive servicing by its previous owners. Annual mileage accumulation remains steady at approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The record shows a consistent progression from 41,715 miles in September 2022 to the current recorded figure. The singular failure recorded on 19 September 2024 at 52,671 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the test on the same day with no recorded defects. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed wear that would typically manifest as premature suspension degradation or seized components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on standard consumable items that do not always appear on MOT records, such as the condition of the brake pads and the remaining life on the tyres. Given the lack of structural or mechanical advisories, the primary concern remains the current state of the drivetrain and clutch operation. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or fluid leaks under the engine bay, as these are common on vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of recurring faults in the history provides a strong baseline, but a thorough test drive is still required to confirm the smooth operation of the gearbox and the responsiveness of the steering rack.
