2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · SE55 ASK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-08-27 at 123,927 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-26 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved issues. Subsequent tests from 2024-08-19 (109,484 miles) and 2023-08-05 (92,709 miles) showed stable performance, with passes and no defects. The pattern indicates no significant deterioration in mechanical condition, though the repeated same-mileage tests raise questions about procedural accuracy or unresolved minor faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,927 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of ~9,533 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. A notable jump from 92,709 to 109,484 miles between 2023 and 2024 suggests increased activity, though no corresponding defects were noted. The absence of structural corrosion, suspension, or brake-related issues in the record implies routine maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits deeper analysis. The data is sparse but clean, with no recurring major faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The repeated same-mileage MOTs warrant scrutiny of service history to confirm if unresolved minor issues were addressed. While no critical faults are documented, the lack of detailed defect records means a physical inspection is essential to verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT data.
