Had my Kia ceed for 9 months now,2012 1.6 crdi , since I’ve had it it’s been bill after bill, latest one is it’s at the garage currently with a snapped glow plug in the head🤬, I just can’t seem to go a couple of months without it costing me an arm and a leg, wish I’d never bought it, don’t know what to do , don’t want to go down the finance route but if I did change it don’t want anything any older, should’ve just bought a boggo 1.6 petrol Astra!

    Looking for inspiration, feel like I’m tossing money into a deep black hole and it’s depressing me.

    I have no experience of owning a KIA, in another thread today someone was boasting about the standard 5yr unlimited mileage warranty.
    However which garage are you taking it to? Is it an official KIA or joe soap around the corner cos he's supposed to be cheap?

    Local garage which is very good, feel I’m in too deep with it now to get rid, just have to pray nothing else goes.

    It still is. 7 years/100,000 miles.



    Hyundai (Kia's half-brother) is 5 years unlimited miles.

    A 2012 Ceed's 7 yr warranty will almost be up.

    I had a Ceed for 5 years and it was probably the best car Ive owned (at the time), it went wrong a few times prior to it being 4 years old, and Kia fixed it under warranty, no quibble, after 4 years, it never seemed to go wrong!

    If it never seemed to go wrong and was the best car you have owned, why -

    Or could have expired 5 months ago.
    Or could have expired on mileage a while back.
    Or could have been voided by a late service.
