2022 Kia Ceed: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 87% pass first time (all 2022 cars: 89%) Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 12.3×, brake discs 2.1×, wipers 2× 7,002 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 85% pass first time (all 2022 cars: 89%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 158 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
