The KIA PRO CEED (2009-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 124 2 6SPD is a three-door, family-sized hatchback with a sportier, coupé-like shape than the everyday five-door Kia cee’d. It sits in the mainstream small-family-car market, offering a more distinctive alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com records 39 checks covering 23 different VINs, a useful but modest snapshot of used-car interest. The average private-sale valuation is £1,500, with average recorded mileage of 74,000 and annual mileage of 4,000. Cars checked had about 3.4 previous keepers on average, so condition and service history deserve careful attention. With its 1.6-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, this Pro cee’d suits commuters, couples and households. The 124-horsepower version offers lively everyday performance, while its three-door layout and bold styling give it more personality than many hatchbacks. It can be a good-value used buy, but check condition and service history carefully.
