Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a KIA Ceed, particularly for those seeking a modern, low-mileage petrol variant. The clean MOT history suggests a vehicle that has met all regulatory standards without issue since its first test.
When viewing this specific 2020 Ceed, check that the service history matches the low mileage recorded, as the 998cc engine requires regular oil changes to maintain efficiency. Given the lack of MOT advisories, ensure the seller can provide documentation of routine maintenance that the MOT test does not cover, such as brake fluid changes or timing belt inspections if applicable.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage and the fact that it has avoided the common model failures seen in the wider fleet, such as tyre or headlamp issues. Ask for a detailed breakdown of any work carried out between the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests to ensure the vehicle has been kept in line with manufacturer recommendations.
The small 998.0cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity Ceed models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a hatchback of this size, especially for mixed driving.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though you should budget for consumables like tyres, which is a common failure point for this model type. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be relatively low due to the engine size and recent MOT pass record.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for the KIA Ceed shows that tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars are the most frequent failure points. You should specifically inspect the tread depth and condition of all four tyres and check that the headlamp alignment and brightness are correct.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bars, for any signs of wear or play, as these are statistically significant issues for this model. Check the white paintwork for any signs of stone chipping or damage that may have occurred during its 27,383 miles of use.
Registered in September 2020, this white 998cc petrol KIA Ceed has covered 27,383 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2025. The vehicle has a consistent record of three consecutive MOT passes with no recorded defects or failures. Its mileage is notably lower than the model average, positioning it well within the lower bracket for its age.
The KIA Ceed shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.1% across the sampled fleet, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and suspension.
