2008 KIA Ceed 1.6L Petrol · VO03 KAS

The 2008 Kia Cee'd presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 107,104 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes across every available annual examination. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the five-year DVSA history from 2021 to 2025, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded test cycle. Annual mileage has remained consistently low for an 18-year-old car. The records show 74,825 miles in April 2021, rising to 80,769 by April 2022, 87,058 in April 2023, 97,450 in April 2024, and 107,104 in April 2025. That equates to roughly 9,500 miles per year across the documented period, below the national average and consistent with light use. The absence of any test gaps and the steady annual increments suggest the previous keeper maintained continuous road tax and usage rather than leaving the car idle for long stretches. Given the clean MOT ledger, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or structural corrosion issues have been flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper condition, as a pass with no advisories does not capture gradual wear between tests. The low mileage may also mask perished rubber components or fluid degradation from age rather than distance. The verified history implies a conscientious ownership pattern with basic statutory upkeep met on time. Prospective purchasers should verify service records independently and scrutinise tyre sidewall condition, exhaust emissions under load, and steering linkage play before completion, since these consumable areas fall outside MOT pass criteria until faulted.
