2009 KIA Ceed 1.4L Petrol · WV09 LSL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in February 2026 at 124,222 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the car has moved from recurring failures in previous years to a result with no recorded defects. The transition from failures in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the current owner is willing to address and rectify mechanical issues to maintain compliance with testing standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 16,362 miles recorded between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 12,288 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. While the total mileage is relatively low, the age of the vehicle suggests that rubber-based components and fluids may be subject to age-related degradation regardless of the distance driven. While the most recent test was successful, the buyer must investigate the specific causes of the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not list the mechanical reasons for those rejections. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and rear mounting points for signs of corrosion, which are common points of failure on this era. The buyer should also check for worn suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs to ensure that the previous failures were not indicative of deeper underlying wear that could recur.
