2019 KIA Ceed GT-Line Lunar Edition ISG 1.4L Petrol · VL19 NNM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 62,400 miles resulted in a failure due to the nearside rear brake pads being below the 1.5mm legal limit. While the car passed immediately following this repair, the failure suggests that the owner only addressed critical safety components when prompted by the tester rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between the October 2022 test at 20,879 miles and the November 2023 test at 36,115 miles, the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles, showing a period of higher usage. However, the subsequent 26,285 miles covered between late 2023 and late 2025 indicates a return to more moderate annual mileage, which explains the wear seen on consumable components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The recurring issues noted in November 2024, where both rear tyres showed uneven wear on the edges, combined with the 2025 brake pad failure, may point to underlying alignment issues or sticking brake calipers. You should inspect for excessive wear on the rear suspension bushes and verify that the rear brake discs are not scored from the delayed pad replacement. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or emission failures in the record, suggesting the chassis integrity remains sound despite the neglected minor maintenance.
