2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · UT58 LEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of concern. The most recent MOT test conducted in July 2025 at 89,807 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in August 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults as they arise. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-moderate annual usage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 10,346 miles, followed by a shorter interval of 8,376 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which typically prevents excessive seizing of drivetrain components and brakes, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber perish and fluid seals. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest two tests, a buyer should still focus on a physical inspection of structural integrity and wear items. At 13 years old, Kia Ceeds are prone to corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points which the MOT does not always flag until it becomes a structural failure. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the condition of the brake discs for pitting, as low mileage does not prevent age-related oxidation of metal components.
