This 2013 Kia has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 15,647 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the vehicle's past issues align with community-reported faults.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 6,425 miles/year, averaging 15,647 miles over 13 years, which is highly unusual for a 2013 car.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2019-08-02 indicate severe neglect.
- Recurring major failures in brakes, lights, and windscreen across multiple tests.
- Consistent low annual mileage (6,425 mi/yr) for a 2013 vehicle.
- Community-reported faults for head gasket, clutch, and overheating align with MOT history.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT record.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
- The Kia Ceed has a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which is prone to overheating and oil consumption.
