Kia Cee'd 2012-2015 - GOOD USED BUY?? | IN-DEPTH REVIEW

[@angeloskarageorgiou2446]

Bought in 2019 a YM 05/2013 Kia Ceed JD 126bhp diesel with 75.5k miles, all services in Kia Dealer. Almost 124k miles are on the clock now. I have replaced: Rear Brake discs and pads at 75.5k as they have been worn out Front Discs and Pads at 96k as they have been worn out A full set 4/4 of Shock absorbers at 114k Clutch kit, water pump, coolant temp sensor at 120k Accompanied with religious maintenance schedule every 15k miles in Cyprus. Faults: The 3 Engine mounts replaced at 110k miles Replaced the tailgate lock but I suspect that this was caused from an issue in the fuse box Start/ Stop rarely works but I don’t care as battery and ignition are in astonishing condition. From time to time, I receive error of Faulty Throttle body sensor with no issues on performance or consumption, they just clean it. Adding fuel additives Tunap 984 and Wurth Stabilisator for the Biodiesel. Realistic highway consumption approx. 56mpg, 45mpg urban. A 9 year old car with petty issues so far, spacious and comfy compared to competitors.

You replaced and fixed quite a lot ?

How much did all the faults come to cost wise?

[@angeloskarageorgiou2446]

Indeed but I ve bought it with 75.5k miles on the clock in 2019. Today it has exceeded 141.5k. So except from engine mounts and the lock, all the other was just to maintain it. An update: replaced one damaged wheelhub & rod/ strut 5k miles ago but this is due to the numerous road bumpers with bad specs in Cypriot roads @@marvin2678

@@joelovell9552 To be honest, faults could be considered: 1) engine mounts, 2) boot lock. The rest are expected because of the usage/ mileage. So mounts and boot lock I could say a cumulative amount of 450-500eur?

You have rough roads? I am on 145000 and almost all original other than consumables, service and a track rod end
