2013 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YK63 YRO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 29 October 2025 at 151,403 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the history reveals a period of significant instability in October 2025. The car failed two consecutive tests within a three-week window, covering only 462 miles between failures, suggesting a specific mechanical or emissions issue was addressed and rectified immediately before the final pass. Despite this recent cluster of failures, the maintenance trend remained stable over the preceding two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 5,715 miles, indicating a period of lower-average use. However, mileage increased sharply by 6,713 miles between September 2024 and October 2025, showing a return to higher usage levels. This accumulation of high mileage places standard strain on wear-related components, particularly the suspension bushings and brake hardware, which require scrutiny at this interval. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the October 2025 failures. Since the record does not list specific defects for those failures, the issues may have related to emissions sensors or minor fluid leaks that were quickly repaired. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the structural sills and the integrity of the rubber components is essential. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of binding or uneven wear to ensure the recent pass didn't mask an underlying mechanical trend.
