2020 KIA Ceed GT-Line ISG 1.0L Petrol · WR20 ABU

The Kia Ceed GT-Line ISG presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 6 August 2025 at 36,573 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects listed points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself, and the subsequent pass confirms the car cleared the requirements. Across the full history from February 2023 through August 2025, every completed test resulted in a pass and no advisories were raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a six-year-old vehicle. The first entry on 23 February 2023 shows 16,365 miles, rising to 29,448 miles by 25 January 2024 and 31,356 miles on 30 August 2024, then 36,573 miles by August 2025. This equates to roughly 6,100 miles per year, below the national average, with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps that would suggest neglected storage or hard commercial use. The clean advisory record across all five entries indicates the previous keeper addressed consumable and mechanical wear before each test rather than allowing minor items to lapse. Given the absence of any flagged defects, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of typical age-related items not always caught in a pass result. Check the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and brake pad thickness, as these fall outside mandatory failure thresholds at moderate wear. Examine underside structural integrity for early corrosion and inspect coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue from low-mileage but ageing rubber components. The sparse, clean MOT history implies disciplined upkeep by the prior owner, though the twin 6 August 2025 entries warrant confirmation that the failure was clerical and not a concealed drivability issue. A pre-purchase mechanical check remains sensible to validate the test data against real-world component condition.
