Description
This is a 2009 Kia Ceed estate listed as spares or repair, with the condition reflected in the listing.
The vehicle starts and drives; however, it has several known mechanical issues and will require attention. It would be suitable for someone looking for a project vehicle, repair, or parts rather than everyday use.
Condition & known issues:
The engine is rattly on startup and when driving, and there is white smoke on startup. The gears are stiff, and reverse can sometimes be difficult to engage unless the engine is switched off. The handbrake is weak, so the car must be left in gear when parked. The vehicle has not been serviced recently.
MOT & history:
The MOT expired in October 2025.
The most recent MOT advisories (from the previous MOT) included:
Front and rear subframe corrosion (not seriously weakened at the time of test)
Corrosion was noted on the coil springs.
The rear brake discs were worn
These points have been taken into account when listing the vehicle.
The positives:
Starts and moves under its own power.
Straight body for age
Practical estate with a good-sized boot
