The KIA PRO CEED (2009-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 124 3 5SPD is a three-door family hatchback with a sportier look than the practical five-door Kia cee’d. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers seeking everyday transport with extra style, while keeping to a familiar, affordable hatchback format. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 27 checks across 18 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £1,700 and average recorded mileage of 82,000 miles; annual use averages 5,000 miles, and cars have had about two previous keepers. It’s well suited to commuters, couples or small households who value a distinctive three-door shape and a straightforward manual drive; rear access is less convenient than in five-door rivals. The 1.6-litre petrol engine offers lively everyday performance, while the Pro cee’d’s bold styling helps it stand apart from alternatives such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.
