KIA CERATO (2004-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 CRDI 113 LX

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The KIA CERATO (2004-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 CRDI 113 LX is a compact five-door family hatchback from Kia’s 2004–08 range, aimed at buyers wanting practical everyday transport rather than a premium badge. In the UK used-car market it sits among affordable alternatives to familiar rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, with a useful shape for town and longer journeys. The 1.6 CRDi diesel engine makes this Cerato a sensible option for commuters and drivers covering regular distances, while five doors and a roomy hatchback layout suit small families, couples or first-time used-car buyers. The LX version offers straightforward, practical motoring; its appeal is value and usability rather than sporty style or luxury. As with any older diesel, condition and service history matter more than the badge. mycarcheck.com’s five checks (four VINs) averaged 121,000 miles and 5,000 annual miles; five keepers and £300 average private-sale value—a small sample.

Before buying a Kia Cerato, check for outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could leave you with a costly problem.
