AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests, with the most recent inspection on 21 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. The record indicates a single failure on 23 January 2025, though the specific mechanical reason for that failure was not documented in the provided data. Following that failure, the vehicle achieved a clean pass on the same day, suggesting the necessary remedial work was completed to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 58,499 miles at the time of the 2026 test aligns with an average annual usage of approximately 8,357 miles. This reflects a consistent pattern of use over the vehicle's seven-year lifespan. The MOT entries appear regular, with annual tests occurring every January from 2023 through 2026, showing no significant gaps in the testing schedule. Since the recent MOT records show no ongoing advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or tyre tread, there are no documented patterns of wear in these areas. However, the failure recorded in January 2025 warrants a physical inspection of the braking system and lighting to ensure no recurring issues exist. A buyer should also inspect the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks that may not have been flagged during these specific annual inspections. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

Highly recommended for long-distance drivers due to its low mileage and consistently clean recent MOT records. It represents a well-used example of a practical Kia Ceed diesel.

When inspecting this Ceed, verify that the service history is consistent with the mileage shown, as diesel engines require regular oil changes to maintain the particulate filter (DPF) health. Given the MOT failure in early 2025, ask the seller exactly what the failure point was to ensure it was addressed to a standard.

Check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common failure points for this model across the fleet. Since the car has low mileage, look for any signs of uneven wear or perished rubber components that might indicate the car has sat for long periods between uses.

The 1598cc diesel engine is known for high efficiency, typically achieving 60-70 mpg on motorway driving. Tax bands for this era are generally favourable for modern diesels, though buyers should check the specific insurance group which can vary significantly based on driver profile.

Annual running costs are estimated between £900-£1,100, covering fuel based on average mileage, standard servicing, and routine maintenance items like tyres and brake pads.

Pay close attention to the January 2025 MOT failure recorded at 44,755 miles; although the car passed immediately after, knowing the specific reason for the failure is vital for determining if it was a minor item or something mechanical.

Inspect the anti-roll bar links and bushings, as aggregate data identifies this as a top failure reason for the Ceed model. Also, check the headlamp alignment, as this is another noted common issue for this vehicle type in MOT testing.

This 2019 KIA Ceed presents a strong value proposition, having covered 58,499 miles in seven years—well below the national average of roughly 55,000 miles for its age. While there was one MOT failure in January 2025, the vehicle has passed its most recent test with no defects recorded. The 1.6L diesel engine suggests this car is suited to those who prioritise motorway efficiency over short city trips.

The KIA Ceed generally maintains a positive reliability reputation, though diesel variants require regular long-distance runs to avoid DPF issues.
