2010 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YP10 FFJ

The March 9 2026 MOT at 96,413 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend; earlier tests in 2025 and 2023 also passed, with only a minor registration lamp advisory in 2023, showing no worsening condition. The mileage progression reflects a steady annual increase of roughly 6,000 miles, moving from 81,511 miles in April 2022 to 96,413 miles in March 2026, with no abrupt spikes; the 11‑month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests added 3,947 miles, while subsequent intervals remained within the expected range for a 16‑year‑old car. A buyer should therefore inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, examine rear brake calipers for binding and brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and check the underbody and chassis for structural rust or previous repair welds, as the absence of major defects in the MOT record does not guarantee the absence of hidden deterioration.
