2015 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · SY15 PYF

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 51,953 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a failure in early January 2025. While the latest test indicates a clean bill, the previous history reveals that the owner was reactive rather than proactive, addressing specific suspension wear and tyre issues only after they were flagged during a test failure. At 11 years old, this Kia Ceed has covered significantly less mileage than the national average, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 1,350 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 767 miles between the January and August 2025 tests. This low usage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it also increases the likelihood of rubber components degrading or brake components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2023 and 2025. The tester noted wear on the nearside front tyre in 2025, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn components causing the tyre to wear unevenly. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust if the brakes are not used regularly.
