2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YB09 HDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by four consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 resulted in a clean sheet, maintaining the trend of no failures seen in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This consistency indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum safety and environmental standards over the last four years of testing. At 56,995 miles, the 17-year-old vehicle shows a significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,353 miles per year. This low usage suggests light travel or extended periods of stationary time, which can impact components differently than high-mileage wear and tear. The recorded intervals between tests are consistent, generally occurring every eleven to thirteen months, which reflects a regular inspection regime despite the low mileage. While the digital record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use and age. This includes checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers caused by sitting, and assessing the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes which can perish over time regardless of distance. Structural integrity of the sills and arches is also critical for a vehicle of this age to ensure hidden rust has not developed between the annual inspections. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
