2009 KIA Ceed 1.6L Diesel · YT09 YDO

The 2009 Kia Ceed presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2025-09-02 at 30,768 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since at least 2021. The maintenance trend shows no worsening indicators and no advisories across five consecutive annual examinations, suggesting the vehicle has been kept to a basic statutory standard. Recorded mileage sits at 30,768 miles against a 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,810 miles per year. The test history supports light use: the car covered only 878 miles between the 2024-08-29 test at 29,890 miles and the 2025 entry, and just 930 miles across the 2023-09-06 to 2024 period at 28,820 miles. Such low accumulation implies long stationary periods rather than regular commuting, though the sparse five-entry record leaves earlier history unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely extended idle spells. Standing time accelerates perishable component degradation even without mileage wear. Brake discs and calipers merit physical checks for seizing or surface pitting from disuse. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity failures in the official record is reassuring, but DVSA tests do not assess hidden rust behind trims. Verify the underbody and sill condition before purchase.
